Nothing was Ireland spared.
ReplyDeleteSuch a tragedy so many people died of hunger.
ReplyDelete...an other genocide of history.
ReplyDeleteAll of this must evoke intense emotions from the Irish and from emigrés of Irish origin making a pilgrimage to the old country.
ReplyDeleteYet another sad moment in history of mass destruction of human lives lost to time because of natural or human intervention.
ReplyDeleteWe saw these graves in Ireland when we visited. It was heartbreaking.
ReplyDeleteSo sad Bill, and even worse that there are still children dying from hunger in parts of the world today 😥

ReplyDeleteMy ancestors came to Canada to escape the famine.
