The old station, converted to a barracks, was gone; of the 320 soldiers who had been sleeping inside, all had disappeared but two. In the warm days that followed, bodies hidden beneath the tumbled walls began to decompose. To avoid disease, the dead were rushed through a makeshift morgue in the soccer stadium, buried in mass graves. After three days of searching, the number of bodies recovered stood at close...
