"In our country, there have never been death squads –not a single disappearance, no political assassinations, not one person tortured. (...) Travel around the country, ask the people, find just one shred of proof, someone demonstrate that the revolutionary government has ordered or tolerated any such act, and I will never again assume a public role."                                                                   −Fidel Castro, April 5, 2001, Plenary Session of the 105 Conference of the Interpartialimentary Union, Havana. (Translated from Spanish.)

There is profound unawareness of the cost in lives of the Cuban Revolution. This contributes to pervasive ignorance of the violent nature of the regime in power. In getting to know its victims, people and nations may be compelled to assist the people of Cuba in attaining their rightful freedoms. 

image028Furthering an understanding of the human cost of violence fosters a culture of respect for life and the rule of law. It also honors the memory of those who’ve paid the highest price, giving just meaning to their sacrifice.

This work is a gift to present and future generations that deserve to live freely and in peace.
