Visit to "museo de la Memoria"

1)I didn't know about the existence of this museum until this day.
A museum that exhibit about the things that happened in September 11th, 1973 surprise me a lot because we live in a society where the most of the people with social power do a great effort to make us forget about our own history about the horrible things that happened in that era.

2)I think that the memory is all the things we remember from our past.
We have memories about the most relevant events of our lives.
These event can be good or bad experiences but both of them are important because these events change us a little and these changes define us in the present.

3)I think that the collective memory is very important for us both as individual and as a society.
Is important in the way that doesn't let us to commit the same mistakes we did in the past.
Also we have to look in these memories the tools to find solution to the problems in the present.

I already have knowledge about what happen in the dictatorial era in Chile but at the moment I saw the pictures, videos and the newspapers at the museum I realized how much the people suffer in that era.

4)The artifacts that called most my attention were the draws and toys that the children left because is said by some people that during the military dictatorial the children didn't suffer torture but they suffer a lot when their relatives were taken away forever or how they were tortured in front of the children.
In my opinion this is also considered torture.

5)I think this visit was a really good experience.
Even if these memories made us feel very sad there are very important for us to remember the wishes of liberty and equality of these people which were killed and tortured.
