CW/TW: Mass graves, religious abuse, mother and baby homes
The story of Tuam , Ireland 's mass graves has a very similar trajectory to those of the Indigenous children who died at residential schools in places like Kamloops, BC.
Many of the Irish press, officials, and most of all, the church, tried to deny that this happened.
But it did.

These are some of their stories.
