I've seen a lot of places where people just disappear. Where their bodies literally disintegrate into the sand or into the earth and there's no photograph of them that their family has and there's no marker for them, of where they died, and I think it's a terrible thing to be slaughtered in a war, but to be eviscerated and not have anybody even notice your passing is particularly haunting to me. And I believe in bearing witness to the dignity of people here and also the indignity that is being done to people here.
