The Power of Personalizing Mass Tragedy Memorials
Individualizing a mass grave by bearing the body of a single soldier helped to humanize the tragedy and allowed people to mourn in their own way, regardless of their beliefs about the war. The anonymity of the soldier allowed each visitor to project their own meaning onto the grave.

This concept was widely adopted by over 50 countries, as it provided a simple yet powerful way to commemorate mass tragedies.
