Rwanda Genocide: The Art of Remembering and Forgetting. Applies to all Genocides. Siempre por nunca jamás.

  National Geographic
"Remembering is a tricky thing. It can release a river of volatile emotions that can drown you in sorrow or shame, and it can also unleash a torrent of vengeful anger. But forgetting is equally treacherous, lest those who were lost died in vain or the crucial lessons learned are not passed on to future generations. Rwandans of all walks of life navigate this complex riptide of emotion every day, each in his or her own way. It is far more art than science".

It not only applies to Rwanda, in Perú we had also a genocide in the 1980's till September 1992.Active extreme leftist terrorist groups Sendero Luminoso (The Shining Path) and the MRTA killed thousands of people,the military responded also with excesses too. The country was in chaos,the economy in shambles and people lived scared. This bloodshed should never be forgotten and this experience should be remembered and these hard lessons so dear in lives must be passed on to future generations. Always. Every Year.Siempre por nunca jamás.
