The skeletal remains of a baby, a child about 10 years old and three adults were found, all lacking hands and feet and with no normal burial artifacts, such as belt buckles, buttons and the remains of clothing. “The findings … are that these are war-related victims. … The key to solving this mystery would be to determine the date of burial: whether it comes from the 1920s, 1940 or 1945,” he said.Oktavian Bartoszewski, a member of the Latebra Foundation archaeological team, told The Times of London, “There is a cemetery nearby, but why would a family be buried here rather than there?
