"BEHOLD A CHILD"

"Behold a child"  about the Lost Children of Tuam, Ireland, appeared in the New York Times( October 26. ) It is a  Special Report by Dan Barry.

It was for me an inspiration about the power of one individual's inquisitiveness and perseverance to right a wrong.

The article vividly describes what happened to unwed women, their children  society and institutions which tried to deal with starvation, ignorance and
and political upheaval in Ireland in the 1920s.

There is a video Online which can be viewed at nytimes.com/tuam-video

By way of a personal note, I thought of colleagues who worked, and still do to
try to shut down institutions that forget the human quality of people they serve.
