Special gratitude to Aneta Gadieva, the Mothers of Beslan Committee, the head of the Memorial Center 'Beslan. School #1' Larisa Sokhieva, and artist Emma Kelekhsaeva, who provided invaluable help in the last and most critical steps of making this installation possible despite tight deadlines and limited resources.
