August 9 is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
In this clip, Guatemalan Genocide Survivor, Rosalina Tuyuc Velasquez, describes where violence and war fail, and human life succeeds.
The Guatemalan Genocide refers to the killings of civilians, especially those of Mayan origin, as part of counter-insurgency operations during the 1960-1996 Guatemalan Civil War. While massacres took place in 1966-1967, the most intensive period of killings was from the Panzós massacre in 1978 until 1983. The Visual History Archive (VHA) currently contains 32 interviews with survivors of the Guatemalan Genocide, recorded by the Fundación de Antropologia Forense de Guatemala and the USC Shoah Foundation.
