Thanatourism

Tourists traipse over sites.
The necropolises
Team with the secular;
Teasing mortality.
Trauma and terror marked,
Tasked with introspection: 
To learn ‘Never Forget’.

I wonder where did the tourist go on this trip? Civil War Battle site, a damp camp in Germany, or what other place did they travel? Creative and unique way to go for the contest. Informative after a little research. Congrats. Sara
