Piles of human bodies in the back of a truck may be one of the worst
signs of how humanity has atrophied for some people. Last week we
awoke to reports that 71 migrants had suffocated to death in a truck.
Nobody knows how those who crammed these people into boats or
trucks were able to live their lives normally. Were these distressed
people really that worthless in the eyes of those who only think about
making money?

The public held a commemoration ceremony in Budapest following
the death of those 71 people. The aim was to ensure the incident is not

forgotten and to draw attention to the human traffickers. At that same
time people found themselves speechless in the face of bodies of chil-
dren being washed up on the Libyan shore. This time it was not the
war but human traffickers who killed those defenseless people and that
too before the very eyes of Europe.
