Oscar tells us about this Archive specialized in the Salvadoran armed conflict, which has thirty thousand documentary pieces, compiled since the 1970s at the initiative of Jesuit Ignacio Ellacur\u00eda. In Oscar’s words, “these memory centers are important because they lead us to processes of reconciliation<\/strong>, the search for peace and political dialogue, so necessary in Salvadoran and Central American society today”.<\/p>\n\n

In addition, Oscar and Julia also <\/strong>discuss what El Salvador<\/strong> should learn from its history so as not to repeat the same mistakes<\/strong>, emphasizing the idea that any totalitarian regime <\/strong>“It only leads to the strengthening of different manifestations of violence, such as the one experienced in El Salvador, when accompanied by economic and political crises. <\/p>\n\n
