Markering Begraafplaats Schokland Editorial Image

Next to St. Michael's Church where nothing remained after the evacuation of the island was a cemetery surrounded by a fence.No one who walks and recreates here now realizes that he is at the final resting place of deceased Schokkers.The marking is in a shell path. "When the sun shines from both the east and the west the names are reflected in the silver of the shell path " "says the artist Marianne Meinema. “Then it is as if the people are back in the cemetery”.While digging the artists occasionally came across pieces of bone. They therefore worked exactly where the cemetery used to be.
