Pamćenje i kazivanje istine o svirepim dogaÄ‘ajima je preduslov za obnavljanje društvenog poretka kao i za oporavak pojedinaÄnih žrtava.
”Sve što zloÄinac traži je da posmatraÄ ostane pasivan. On naime raÄuna sa univerzalnom ljudskom težnjom da se oÄi, uši i usta pred zlom drže zatvoreni. Žrtva, nasuprot tome, zahtjeva od svjedoka da s njom podijeli teret bola. Žrtva traži akciju, angažman i pamćenje”. Judith Herman, psihijatrica sa Harvarda
Remembering and telling the truth about terrible events are prerequisites both for the restoration of the social order and for the healing of individual victims.
“All the perpetrator asks is that the bystander do nothing. He appeals to the universal desire to see, hear, and speak no evil. The victim, on the other contrary, asks the bystander to share the burden of pain. The victim demands action, engagement, and remembering “. Harvard psychiatrist Judith Herman
