Truth Commissions: Collective Healing for Trauma?

So, lessons from the past do not exist per se. Even when they are transmitted with the best intentions, they are distorted and reformulated as they are received. This is quite simply because they are always intertwined with social interactions. They bring together people who are more or less attentive, more or less familiar with each other, and who are all involved in numerous different roles—which are not all favorable to the civic transformations expected. What we see in schools, memorials, or during commemorations in more or less peaceful democracies is ultimately not that different from what happens in post-conflict environments. Programs put into place immediately after a violent conflict, or even when the conflict is not yet finished, also aim to revisit the past in order to build the future.
