TRANSLATIONS: - For many years, you were alone looking for your relatives. Many previous governments tried to hide and minimize this problem.- That is why today what we are going to present is not only the photo exhibition. We do not want to only raise awareness about the problem, but want to look at each one of the faces, which here we are going to know in the exhibition. We want to shed them light, give them faces. We are talking about human beings, not statistical figures. We want to vindicate their memory with this exhibition and dignify the fight.
