better we should. everyone is contributing way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we're in it together. and. i was sitting one day with my friend in her living room and we had started speaking about him again and i was like wow my baby. it's going to be 12 years and she was like. where was the city buried him

again i'm like honestly i really don't know the only thing that i know is hard i. don't want back to the hospital where i gave birth. and there were like and yeah but you have to communicate with the correctional facility. i caught. and as the lady that i spoke so she was like you know. that the baby was there. you have to set down a way for a police officer to actually open the gate and lead to when. they actually make you sign papers before you even get on the ferry. and i'm like ok. what can i do is the department of corrections they're going to

treat us like if we visiting in jail. but once the captain got close saw was an x. to me to anybody nor to fire you on they notify me of our work. and that's when he gave me the news we can't find a child here. i. just broke down. eremite daughter my oldest daughter she broke down crying in. the end up i. haven't been in. all of them in. life and that means. something beat.

me on it and this day. there's a. legend about how people grow up in brooklyn that we're very. strong stuff very straight forward. and we're people that have resources my resource has always been my family. as i grew up i went through all that the ratio 'd discriminatory situations that the world knows of today that happen in america. i have lurked. but he merely a share in a being that made. the civil war freed the slaves. was my civil

war. it's the 1st place i ever felt whole as i'm a it's the 1st place in my life that i ever met i'm a. i'm not opposite color that the strew to heart and soul about the i guess me. his name was richard. he's gone and been gone since he was 9. 0 it was a machine gun. he is that boy from aachen soul who taught me of white and black love. man becomes family with men. with will. cover a ship we call it. during

. my trial of war years ship. my wife. i was 17 years old and pregnant with my 2nd pregnancy. she gave birth. in sane organs nabl hospital. when i kept back to the united states of america i had no knowledge i to head to any of this type of a base. so when it was exposed to me that it was twins i didn't even question where of the one was when they only showed me

one. now that appeared to point. because she's never spoken to me about it. that's because in maturity. i joke with the situation. everyone in the world knows no one wants to bury their family or possibly. who should have to go there. i think he always wanted to have some kind of relation with ken he didn't want to lose it but he couldn't control himself. he had a he had the devil in him when he was born i guess. and it was hard to fight it.

and him always wanted closure she always wanted she always said to me from i guess 16 all the way until she is now that she said i know i know deep down inside i'll always talk to him ollie's be able to tell him my piece of this story. then one day we get a phone call and it's a new york times a call on us up and this moment nina bernstein and nina said to me do you know you're related to bruce hanson i said yeah that's my ex-husband and she said i have to tell you something. it was really shocking to me to discover that new york state law a law dating back to the 1900 centuries. required the city to offer the bodies of unclaimed dead to medical schools for deception.

i learned that there were 22 cadavers. that were in cold storage at albert einstein medical school. you know basically the these could hours are just lent to the medical schools they are supposed to then be returned to the city for what the city considers proper burial which is a hard island trench. i tried very hard to learn the names of these cadavers because i wanted to reclaim their stories. one of the last of the 22 that day was bruce hanson. even though his body had been in cold storage for 3 years it had been on lists and

sent back and forth between the medical school and the medical examiners office the medical examiners office had not done the 1st thing in terms of trying to find someone who knew bruce hanson and would care and it was easy. the. fear. is to be the last and most important source of information about this person. they had his name they had its name when he 1st arrived to the more they had his name when they put him on a list to offer as a cadaver for just sections of medical school. when i had the name and i did the 1st basic search it came up immediately his ex-wife in

new jersey. one phone call and i had her one phone call and i was carrying the phone to her daughter. nobody called us i never changed my last name it's still hansen i live in the same state as new jersey nina had no problem calling me up to find out. he shouldn't it ended up in there they shouldn't allow that. and for 3 years being in albert einstein hospital just. you know going through their medical procedures for 3 years to put him in a cold box pull him out cutting them up put in it's awful. it's awful. i'm angry at how it happened and i'm angry with. the medical examiner in the

hospital. the people in know that i still won't give me information on him you know it's my father i should have a right to know how he died i'm never going to find out. the medical examiner office calling to find out what you know. the hospital not giving giving you a hard time by getting the records everybody is hiding something. so the hospital's working them with the medical examiner which is working with hearts island you know they obviously don't want people to know most of the mistakes that they made or things that they just didn't care about. and think about all those bombs in the street and then they contacted every single person's family. they

throw them probably in the islands. a new gold rush is underway and gonna. work as a flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich. as. children are torn between gold. my family was very poor i thought i was doing my best to get back just which side will have the strongest appeal. the world is driven by a dream shaped by some person of those. who

dares thinks. we dare to ask. israel media a reflection of reality. in a world transformed. what will make you feel safe like. thyssen nation full community. are you going the right way or are you being led so well. dialing. what is true what is faith. in the world corrupted you need to descend. to join us

in the depths. aura made in the shallows. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. no you have city is just for vacation knowing a city is just sit and have fun. in the inner city it's not a place sashimi live in the. snow.

kitchens i want to bring in today talk a little bit about where we are with the case in the position of the arguments the city is making in the fight that i'm having with the city continues and i told them what you and i have talked about before like if you tell us where the b.b. is bill dropped the lawsuit today that's what this is all about we're trying to find out they don't believe us you think it's about money it's time it's about a search for the truth. one of the issues for the city or katrina is if we stablish here that they don't know there are other cases like yours that are out there pending and they don't want to make law they don't want to make their profit so the further they can push us back and slow us down put the latter these things bad things will happen to the city so they're part of their 2 way is to not let this case come to trial because there are other cases that are going to follow shortly behind. and show that they really do one of us because all they think it is about the money and honestly like has said. a lot do when this

for the money i want my son back that's saying. what we know right now from him from the record so we have to say that autopsy was performed the body at some point was at the morgue. we do have some indicate. on one of the records that the body was released for transport at this point we don't know if it was transport to some type of medical facility for research we don't know where that baby was released to we know where the baby was supposed to be released and that's a hard island. any there with the city of new york it's always going to take me years. getting records to the york requires motion after motion after motion for a judge to compel them to respond they're more concerned the security issues and welfare issues and housing issues and all the things that make the city

a unique in crazy place. it's almost like. no matter how much will. never happen i can never guarantee you that i'm going to give you an answer that question and i know that's the most important thing to see and that's been the focus of my case it's always been about getting those answers. i need answers. to join the union. they came for one crime. to be free equal may. carry it.

and i feel very emotional about it because. not only of the soldiers interred here . but so is my daughter. i named her a ship. her and i was selves with many questions. about our daughter. so we hope to bring closure to our family and to bring on a love and respect to a so. that we haven't had the opportunity. to own a properly for almost 50 years to this day. to match i have touched the earth. that she's buried in it too who's me

to go over there to lay the 1st wreath at her grave site. and fame our respects to my daughter who is buried on august in august feel of the city of new york. then i came to change my plight. to brain on a. respect. and some type of fitting memorial statue. over one hog hour and. for these soldiers of the civil war.

to have a city this modern this cosmopolitan that still buries the unclaimed dead the way jacob reese recorded in the 19th century. it just doesn't make sense. it's archaic it's bizarre and yet it also represents a truth about america about the western world perhaps. that this tremendous inequality not only still exists but has has widened. björk still house the door is still a name to conjure with it still sounds a musical note to people in some distant part of the war.

new york is distinctive york has always gone its own way. new york has its own bitter humor. its own kind of culture or its own kind of literacy. new york is not sentimental because the city dose not care the city is not there about him. that is one of the attractions of new york city forces and this monster you have to fight. you have to actually rust. well with the city in order to just get the very basic necessities of life.

and so the idea of the city having something on its conscience this is rather small block frankly. i mean. with all on or to the dead they are dead. i think that city has always wanted to forget about island city has wanted to forget about the people who are buried there it's wanted to forget about the fact that there is a potter's field that there is a place where difficult stories are hidden. in new york city is celebrated as the place where anyone can achieve their dreams of but those dreams haven't been achieved by everyone.

it's true of people toiling away dating out the titles for subways or building a skyscraper as. is true of people or wound up homeless or because a society shunned them as happened during the aids epidemic. those stories might not be flattering to tell even more it might tell us things about our present that we'd rather not face. we owe it to the people who have been buried there and are being buried there to bring their stories to light. so my bill to move the jurisdiction of heart i'm in a i believe that we're at

a place where we can finally the momentum is growing to make hard line a public place that is not forgotten. 1000000 new yorkers who built this city made this city the city that it is today they should not be forgotten they need a better space to be resting. the

dawn all or are. born to you. what the earth. or

why the board. the odd. or why the or are. the you.

the crisis since the crisis began is that the way used to be now there is just one crisis on top of another raid on the world one starts and one stops and it's just a multiple crises stacked up you know right there and sunny and you're thinking to yourself my goodness gracious what happened. when you all know it's coming through and spoke to me if somebody would have been told me look i'm going to spend my life trip to cancun to the disco close to the salty was clearly seen. every now and over we were affected by the arabs oh we will attacking them and we will

extremely shocked and saying that's not possible oh make those move into such scenes and then the soldiers and myself from the work and sleep in the. house with all the prison or with gold with over do all or. believe much sick and close to prisons in the on call. it was like and i think in my head that there is no way to be able to live together without. hamas. one else chose seemed wrong but old bulls just don't hold. any new world yet to shape out just they become agitated and in gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we

choose to look for common ground. so it's called morse code time the smalling r t speaks to the 10 year old garza girl whose video on the horrors of israel's assault has gone viral. seem to be helping people but how can that how. could i want that right so any more so what do they want to do. be toying with the conflict entering a 2nd week israeli citizens struggle under the sound of rockets sirens as. in any of the oldies in the know if it's a holiday in town this one keeps me strong and lots of people then i'll let you know. there's other news for us.
