Nameless Mass Graves

Two meditations from the "The New Union Prayer Book--For the Days of Awe" helped inspire this work:

"How many there are who rest in nameless graves,
and now many who's ashes were blown away by the winds
to every corner of the earth!"
-------

"...The Jewish dream and the reality are ravished,
They die together.
Your witnesses are sleeping:
Infants, women,
Young men, old.
Even the Thirty-six,
Your saints, pillars of Your world,
Have fallen into a dead, an everlasting sleep."
