Dude, for a minute I thought those were real life people with missing limbs and severed heads, but turned out to be wax figures.
If I saw that, I’m out the door. That’s a “oh, hell no” for me

Wtf?!? 😳😟 Man, nothing to look at but a dirty wall. Can’t even get a chance to move your arms and legs. Dang! Just imagine being there for days like that. Chained up to the wall, forced to stand up, nothing to look at but a dirty-ass wall. Your arms raised up-eventually they would feel tired and numb. No one to talk to, until you go crazy I don’t know if I can endure that more than 5 minutes, even days

Hang in there.

is he alive?
-
No. It was actually a service provided by the mortuary, to take this kind of pictures. And it was kind of common, indeed.
-
No. That’s why, it’s called a wake.
It’s an Irish/Catholic tradition.
Folks died at home, and the family sat by her/his side, to check, if people woke up again.

-
Even during a funeral dude came as a ghost.
He’s looking like “yo, I’m right here. Admiring my now dead body. I haven’t crossed the other side yet.”

He was a survivor. So yeah, he’s alive.

Gotta look up Andersonville Prison Camp. I happened to learn, some years ago, that it was the British, who invented concentration camps, during the Boer War in what is now South Africa.

That’s where the Nazis got the inspiration from according to some records

They are dead.

Super scary custom.

Until they look at you with those serious looks. Then you’re like 🙁 “Oookay…uh, welcome to our neighborhood.” 🫤 -
