From Inside Indonesia
This special issue of Inside Indonesia commemorates the 60th anniversary of the beginning of the 1965–1966 genocide, when an estimated half a million men, women and children were murdered for their real or perceived support of the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI). The contributors to this edition are members of an international team that has come together to record the testimonies and archives of survivors and eyewitnesses to the genocide before it is too late. The youngest survivors were children in 1965; there are only a few years left in which to record their life stories. Called the Indonesia Trauma Testimony Project (ITTP), this team aims to preserve these testimonial materials in perpetuity, as an enduring record of this dark chapter in Indonesian and world history.
