Afghanistan Opens Center To Preserve Memories Of Victims Of War
KABUL, AFGHANISTAN - February 14: The chains, manacles, and whips used by one victim of torture to tell his story as Afghans view exhibits showcasing the memories and objects belonging to victims of 40 years of war at the opening of the Afghanistan Center for Memory and Dialogue (ACMD) on February 14, 2019 in Kabul, Afghanistan. The new center is the result of an 8-year project to collect testimonies about some of the estimated 2 million Afghan civilians killed from 1978 to 2001, and then 70,000 more dead and injured since 2009. So far the ACMD has collected hundreds of "Memory Boxes" with 4,000 objects, to prevent what organizers call a "double catastrophe" - the initial death, and then subsequent "erasing" of the crime from Afghanistan's collective memory.
