I am so sad that I found this past payout- I teach 10th grade language arts and we are currently reading Night with my students.
In the background of the photo with the gallows, it looks like there is a soldier digging through the rubble. There's a good chance that it may not have been from the bombings, but actually a mass grave and cover-up, as reports of those are numerous. It's sad that there isn't more information about these, but how cool that you found them!
