"This area's cleared," said Monn. "But we don't stop until we've cleared out this entire base. Don't stop, we're almost there. Push on!"
"I stood at the cliff-edge, listening to the waves crash on the crescent-shaped strand below. This was the beach where Damas executed its criminals and traitors; Father had been slaughtered here. Some nights, I came here to weep as I envisioned his death, but tonight I felt distant, removed from those emotions, instead overcome by silence and watchfulness." ("Beloved," by Beth Winegarner, (c) 2007)
This spot was the first market of Montreal. Warehouses and docks surrounded it and merchants traded and sold goods. It also was the public execution space where people were hanged and killed. Apparently this was a very poplar attraction.
It was also the place where the 1701 treaty was signed with the Native American tribes. They had no written language so each tribe drew a symbol for their tribe. It is hard to see clearly but they range from Herons to peace pipes to lacrosse sticks and turtles. Much is made about this peace, probably in more rosy terms than in reality. It was one of the few treaties with Native Americans to have been honored and not broken. It was really a document of necessity since the French and the Native Americans were suffering horrible losses in continual tit-for-tat war with each other. The natives never officially ceded the lands that are now Canada (and here in the US) and they ultimately suffered terribly under colonial rule. As Americans we have no moral high ground either. The realities were that Europeans had more man and firepower and ultimately won the battles and force the Native Americans into submission. I often think what the world could have been if we had decided that this was their lands and we were visitors? IN the history of humanity no two civilizations ever met and shook hands and came to an equitable set of rules to live peacefully side by side. Ever since we roamed the planet as bands of familial units, whenever two met there was conflict as each was evolved to to view the other as a competitor for resources. As the tribe became bigger and more sophisticated the battles became larger and more destructive. Prior to the Europeans the Native Americans brutally fought one another constantly. Without judgement - this is just the way it was. And Europeans have little moral high ground here because even in the 1800s public executions still occurred to great fanfare and crowds in Europe. The so-called "savages" were no different. The Native peoples may have been able to fight back but after the Spanish came to South America and the Caribbean bringing diseases, to which the native peoples had no immunity, with them. Microbes don't respect boundaries and diseases seemed to have spread far into the American interior wiping out untold numbers of people leaving many of the places where Europeans would land..completely abandoned. Again imagine if history just once wasn't run by greedy supremacist people and people actually respected one another. I can dream I guess.

The execution wall in Auschwitz I. Jews and undesireables were executed here, against this wall, children first while their parents had to watch. Seeing this gives me hope for humans. Though we are capable of extreme evil this picture tells me that most of us desire to do good and chooses to do so.
THE NINTH FORT is a part of the Kaunas Fortress, which was constructed in the late 19th century. During the occupation of Kaunas and the rest of Lithuania by the Soviet Union, the fort was used as a prison and way-station for prisoners being transported to labour camps. After the occupation of Lithuania by Nazi Germany, the fort was used as a place of execution for Jews, captured Soviets, and others.
