Centro Memorial del Terrorismo

The Centro Memorial del Terrorismo (Terrorism Memorial Center) is an organization dedicated to preserving the memory of victims of terrorism, with a particular focus on those affected by ETA's violence. Recent news highlights the ongoing need to remember and understand the suffering caused by ETA, which was defeated and dissolved in 2018 after decades of violence that resulted in 854 deaths. The center's work is especially relevant now as victims are actively involved in educating future generations about the realities of terrorism, sharing their experiences in schools. These 'victim educators' aim to delegitimize violence and promote understanding, while resisting political exploitation of their pain. Their diverse perspectives on forgiveness and reconciliation underscore the complexity of dealing with the legacy of terrorism and the importance of truth-telling.
