De Decembermoorden en het bloedbad van Moiwana

How do we remember events that have left deep marks on Suriname's history? And what do we pass on to future generations? During this evening we reflect on the December Murders and the Moiwana massacre. We listen to personal stories and talk with different generations about the importance of remembrance. What does it mean to pass these events on to future generations? And how do we ensure that stories that have long remained under-recognised continue to be told? On 8 December 1982, fifteen people were murdered who had spoken out against the military regime and were committed to freedom and democracy. On 29 November 1986, a massacre took place in Moiwana in which dozens of civilians were killed during the Interior War. These are two different events, each with its own history. Both raise questions about human rights, justice and responsibility.
