This article is about the period after the liberation of Pokeng in Bavaria. Many babies and young children died there, with no visible sign of a cemetery. The locals seem to have wrapped the dead in a veil of silence, as they said that the dead were not locals and thus did not concern them. It took until 2005 for a memorial site to have been erected for the 52 children who died in this refugee camp.
