    1. [SWITZ] Cemeteries and Bones
    2. Verena Steiner
    3. I grew up in Switzerland a long time ago and remember seeing outside a church (Arlesheim?) in glasfronted display cases the bones from the fallen in the battle of Dornach. Also in those days up in the Church in Mariastein there was a whole Gruft of bones from the Monks who died there on display. All this has disappeared now , I suppose we are a bit more sensitive nowadays as well we have moved on from those primitive customs. Verena
