"Museo De la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos"

The purpose of this report is relate my experience when I went to the “Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos” at the September 11° of this year. It day was the commemoration and memory of the victims of the military dictatorship that started in this day -September 11°- in 1943. In specific the museum make an activity where, by means of a performance where they use a different tools and elements –for example, water, ash and coal- they try to show to us the shadow of all the facts happened in that dark period, show to us of this form, in specific, for example, the shadow of the planes that in that day flew over the city or the marks of the explosion of the bombs and the fire guns. All the performance happened while a radial account minute to minute it was sounded in a radio, when the speech of Allende it was sounded.

In general when I arrived to the museum I felt a general sensation of mourning in the people, I could feel how all the people look the performance with a special view, and I think that it was because always understood that it didn’t any moment, it was a very special moment, we was remembering the facts happened and all the damage that it meant and mean in the actually –shadow effect – making of this form, in my personal appreciation, a special sensation, where it was like if I had been in these moment, because the see the performance and listen the radial account of that day make in me really strong emotions, and I could felt, of an form very different that the facts really happened, how the persons felt.

To finish my experience I want to say that I think that activities like this are very important to remember the facts, to know the history, our history! And of this form don’t repeat the horrible facts that a lot of people lived and the same time try to act in consequence of all that, because is our responsibility remember them and to do activities to give a commemoration of them too, and in this form create different moments to continue to transmit the memory.
