Summary:	"During transition, cultural heritage can be used to create, resurrect and preserve certain narratives about the past that significantly impact national cultural identity and the overall possible directions of the transitional process. Culture, imagination, and ideology often play key roles in the making of massacres and atrocities. The recording of atrocity and violence, in processes comparable to cultural heritage, could be a way to address its causes"--
