As human beings, part and parcel of limitations is our personal tendency to forget and be indifferent when we are confronted by historical events in which human beings have suffered and died.
According to the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur, it is our will and duty to never forget to sacrifices made by those people in the name of what is good and full. By willing not to forget, we affirm human life and by remembering, we generate feelings of ethical sensibility to do something about the injustices of the past and prevent such inhuman acts from repeating.
