Photographer: I.G.V.Atajar
Taken: August 19, 2009
Caption: Memorare-Manila 1945 Monument
Additional Description: This memorial is dedicated to all those innocent victims of war, many of whom went nameless and unknown to a common grave, or never even knew a grave at all, their bodies having been consumed by fire or crushed to dust beneath the rubble of ruins.
Let this monument be a gravestone for each and every one of the over 100,000 men, women, children and infants killed in Manila during its battle of liberation, February 3 to March 3, 1945. We have never forgotten them. Nor shall we ever forget.
May they rest in peace as part now of the sacred ground of this city: The Manila of our affections. February 18, 1995
Submitted: December 14, 2009, by I.G.V.Atajar of San Jose, California.
