This book explores the significance of remembering the rescuers
denouncing human rights crimes as well as protecting and sheltering
targeted victims-including the dead-during the Cold War state
violence in Latin America. In light of newly unearthed archival
evidence, testimonial memories, and the continued mobilization of
human rights groups to preserve Cold War memory, this timely book
moves beyond the victim-perpetrator dichotomy and its discursive
studies to focus on those whose moral courage and righteous acts
were beacons of hope in the midst of extreme violence. Remembering
Latin American "righteousness," a term used in Holocaust
literature, is important in recognizing that those who resisted
human rights violations and protected victims yesterday are those
who often keep the collective memory of that past alive today.
