Sammich remnants? looks like someone doesnt like the crusts.

I get that but there could be no genealogiacl info?, as the poplel thrying to find lost relaitves in what litte is left, or did most lost theri Officiall names Making it a moot point? Any kind of unothdoxay prcatcie must made available, no how sick or standard. We dont wanr that "doomed t o repeat scenario
deal,They need to preserved regalrdess of the tme frame.

GREEN !!!

thanks for the pics

Just curious on how you know they're still razor sharp Mr.Motts? A little home surgery perhaps?

I don't know about pathology, but in research you try to keep your samples stored for several years after you studied them.

It's a filing system for histological slides, they just fit in the squares. We still use them.

It looks so abundantly tawdry and fleeting. Like it was put together as an afterthought, and no token effort whatsoever was made to beautify the room. There are family pets that get a more respectable "send-off" , then the ones these patients received. Maybe they purposely designed it as such, to expedite the viewing process. As if they were attempting to evoke the idology, "Ya see? They're dead. Okay? Now move on. We have things to do."

Again.. I am shocked. I don't care if they are 30, 40, or 80 years old. Why has no one regulated the disposal of this stuff? I love seeing it, kind of frozen in time and in a way I'm gald it wasn't gotten rid of. It just defies common sense leaving it gestating there. again, who know's what could be "brewing" there? I just don't get it. I mean, if you dared me to rub my face with a rag from someone who died in the 1600s of the plague or TB I wouldn't feel very comfortable about it. (Bad example), but age alone doesn't make everything "safe"...

Those are plastic flowers and greenery, lining the bottom of the glass.

I think you're focusing on the Nazi-era history in the wrong perspective - these are slide catalogs from 1970. The numerous records from the Third Reich have been carefully inspected and archived in museums, libraries, and holocaust memorials, as far as I know.

I just can't comprehend leaving this stuff behind, I know they are "ancient" but who knows what could be brewing in this stuff.. I wouldn't want to chance it. Are there truly NO regulations on disposal, really? A used needle is considered "bio-hazard" these days.. wh oknows what kind of mutated plague could pop up under the right conditions.. It boggles me.

I can't get a perspective on this I guess, but what is that area near the bottom that looks like pretty purple orchids painted there? My eyes must be playing tricks, is it just the lighting?

Why no official effort to preserve this stuff is what I want to know.. It IS a prt of history, sick and twisted, but still. And for geneological purpose as well. Is there just "too much" of it to not warrant some kind of effort??

I have no words to tell you my fellings. Thanks...many thanks!

109 year old trail mix, anyone?
