Each victim is given a number between 1 and 176 I guess. Marked in red if burned and in black if suffocated. I don't know whether these numbers are given in the order in which they were discovered/exhumed, or relate to the death roll (unlikely I guess) but I wouldn't be surprised if these numbers could be translated into names.
