Reconciliation Involves Embracing the Past -- Not Forgetting it
San Marcos REMHI
Team
in Chicago October 10 -
16
Join the Guatemalan people in recovering their historic memory and building hope.
The Foundation for Human Rights In Guatemala (FHRG), in cooperation with the Ecumenical Program on Central America and the Caribbean (EPICA) will be hosting the San Marcos REMHI team in Chicago, as part of a three-city tour.
Produced by the Archbishop’s Office on Human Rights in Guatemala, the REMHI (Recovery of the Historic Memory) report — the product of interviews with nearly 7,000 victims of violence during the country’s 36-year civil war — attributed almost 90% of the atrocities and over 400 massacres to the Guatemalan army.
Three members of the REMHI project’s San Marcos team will discuss the project and its role in healing and reconciliation in post-war Guatemala.
Learn how you can support Guatemalans working for a better future.
