GOMEZ-AGUDELO, Jorge Wilson. The 1975 student massacre in El Salvador: memory, silences and political activations. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2023, vol.21, n.1, pp.21-47.  Epub May 13, 2023. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/rlcsnj.21.1.5665.

This article is a case study that views the 1975 student massacre in El Salvador as an expression of the failure of the peace process, given that transitional justice was reduced to amnesty laws that left open wounds as a result of the absence of truth, reparations and justice. The article contains a brief contextualization of the events, dialogue with the interviewee and some final reflections regarding memory, silences and political activation. An indepth interview conducted between 2018 and 2019 was used for this purpose.

Keywords : Human rights; collective memory; violation of human rights; political history; Student movement; Justice.
