These people wanted to know is it a male or a female that you are carrying, the child. But before they could see that it’s a boy they pulled this child by the foot and they hit this child against the wall and he cracked his skull.
In terms of our history it was also felt again that the children need to know the history of this place and in that respect the exhibition can be continued and be expanded.
