Murambi: Limestone Preservation
Title
Murambi: Limestone Preservation
Description
Limestone preserves approximately 847 bodies at the Murambi memorial. The bodies rest on tables situated in dormitory and classrooms of the unfinished technical school. The bodies are slowly decomposing, emitting a memorable odor that stings the nose. The decomposition can be seen underneath the tables.
