Hart Island
It’s a place where few living New Yorkers have ever set foot, but nearly
a million dead ones reside: Hart Island, the United States’ largest
mass grave, which has been closed to the public for 35 years. It is
difficult to visit and off-limits to photographers. But that may be
about to change, as a debate roils over the city’s treatment of the
unclaimed dead. Never heard of Hart? You’re not alone—and that’s part of
the problem.
