On this episode of The Sunday Story, NPR’s Ruth Sherlock takes us to a infamous jail the place hundreds have been detained and killed, and she or he visits a suspected mass gravesite outdoors Damascus. She meets former prisoners and people compelled to play a task in what has been referred to as the regime’s “machinery of death.”
