Terry Riversong

Welcome to my page,

I travel to places where history changed forever, sites marked by mass executions, suffering, courage, and survival. These landscapes carry the weight of humanity’s darkest chapters, yet they also reveal extraordinary resilience. I go not as a spectator, but as a witness: to learn, to understand, and to honor the people whose lives were shattered or transformed there.

Each journey shapes me. Standing where these events unfolded forces me to confront both the brutality humans are capable of and the hope that still rises from devastation. These places are reminders that memory matters, that truth must be protected, and that the stories of victims and survivors deserve to be carried forward.

Traveling through them is not easy, but it is necessary. It deepens my understanding of humanity and my commitment to ensuring that what happened in these places is never forgotten.

There are photos (not professional), some videos, brief information about the place I visited. There's also a Resources Page for further info, and a Comments page if you would like to share any thoughts or suggestions.

This is an ongoing project. The site contains graphic content. Please use use viewer desecration.

Thank you for visiting,

May there be peace...

Terry ~
