[Artist's comments]Summarized
“This leather belt is definitely my husband's.”
A woman of 34 or 35 carrying a baby on her back came to a place where bodies were being kept. The skin of the corpses was burned completely black. “This leather belt is definitely my husband's. The face is also similar. I'm sure this is him.” A tearful reunion.
