Prohibido Olvidar = To Forget is Forbidden... This sign is always in la plaza de mayo in front of the presidential palace. Memory is a tool for justice, forgetting is a tool for impunity. The brutalities of war are facilitated by amnesia. Every Thursday the mothers of the disappeared still march in front of this sign. They've been marching for thirty years... They say justice is slow, but every step toward it is worth taking... We can never forget they say, Never. I wonder where somebody will be disappear tonight? Who has forgotten?
