Madalinski Bridge over the Narew River in Ostroleka, Mazovia (Poland)


"When things were ready, they poured on fuel and touched off the fire.
They waited for a high wind. It was very fine, that powdered bone.
It was put into sacks, and when there was enough we went to a bridge on the Narew River."
