All Six perished and were buried ye 25th of December." >> What a tragedy this must have been. If they starved or died from the cold, did no one else care? Or were others in a similar situation? It is very sad that human beings have had to suffer such pain and misery. If we can feel for those who have suffered in this manner, we must still be human beings too. I, too, wonder what the answers are in a situation where a family perished.
