About this episode
The episode explores the hidden history of a home run by the Catholic Church in Tuam, Ireland, and the local historian's quest for the truth behind its secrets.
I en irländsk småstad börjar en lokalhistoriker gräva i ett gammalt hem styrt av katolska kyrkan, vars historia under decennier legat dold. Arkiv som saknas, märkliga luckor i dokument, och en historia som ingen invånare i staden riktigt verkar vilja tala om. Men rykten finns, viskningar om en skamfylld bakgrund cirkulerar i staden. Det här är historian om hemmet och hennes jakt på sanningen, vad hände egentligen där, varför var det så hemligt, varför teg folk om dess historia?
