Records

That's so devastating how many records there were; I read some records online and the reasons for being committed to an asylum were so ludacrous. I mean, it was a different time, but it's so sad. People always say the Holocaust was terrible human torture and mass murder, which it was, but asylums take a back seat so much for no reason; they were tortured if they didn't think like everyone else or wrote with their left hand or stuttered, or whatever. v.v The boxes look so impersonal in the picture.
