A new generation demands justice for El Mozote massacre in El Salvador 2 minutes read
By Hugo Sánchez
Arambala, El Salvador, Dec 12 (efe-epa).- They didn’t see the blood nor the gunfire. They didn’t hear the screams nor the shrapnel. They didn’t flee through the streets nor did they leave behind what they had built with their own hands turning into ashes.
But everything that the brutality of the Salvadoran army destroyed in El Mozote and the surrounding areas in December 1981 was also a part of them, of their lives.
From the ashes of the El Mozote massacre, which claimed some 1,000 lives, is emerging a new generation of children and grandchildren of survivors who are not afraid to take the baton in their fight to salvage their family members’ memory and to secure justice in courts.
