You scramble up over the dunes of an isolated beach. You climb to the summit of a lonely hill. You pick your way through the eerie hush of a forest. And then you find them. The traces of the past. Perhaps they are marked by a tiny symbol on your map, perhaps not. There are no plaques to explain their fading presence before you, nothing to account for what they once were—who made them, lived in them, or abandoned them. Now they are merged with the landscape. They are being reclaimed by nature. They are wild history.

Die Bronzestatue einer abgemagerten, in Lumpen gehüllten Frau, die sich mit hohlem Blick an ihre wenigen Habseligkeiten klammert, bildet zusammen mit fünf weiteren lebensgroßen Figuren das "Famine Memorial" (Hungerdenkmal) nahe dem Stadtzentrum Dublins. Das 1997 errichtete Mahnmal erinnert an eine Zeit, die den Iren bis heute präsent ist: die Hungerkatastrophe von 1845 bis 1849, die geschätzt einer Million Menschen das Leben kostete und das Verhältnis zu England wohl endgültig zerrüttete. Denn die Regierung in London sah dem Massensterben ihrer irischen Staatsangehörigen weitgehend untätig zu.
