Ireland: Waning faith

Local historian Catherine Corless contemplates childhood photographs in her house in the outskirts of Tuam, Ireland. Corless's investigation into a burial site in St. Mary’s Mother and Baby Home in Tuam, where she believed 796 children, most of them infants, were interred between 1925 and 196, proved to be right when a state-financed investigation uncovered the remains of babies, small children and foetuses interred where she said they would.
