Description

This book explores the significance of remembering the rescuers denouncing human rights crimes as well as protecting and sheltering targeted victimsincluding the deadduring the Cold War state violence in Latin America.

In light of newly unearthed archival evidence, testimonial memories, and the continued mobilization of human rights groups to preserve Cold War memory, this timely book moves beyond the victim-perpetrator dichotomy and its discursive studies to focus on those whose moral courage and righteous acts were beacons of hope in the midst of extreme violence.

Remembering Latin American ';righteousness,' a term used in Holocaust literature, is important in recognizing that those who resisted human rights violations and protected victims yesterday are those who often keep the collective memory of that past alive today.
