been previously attacked in 2002.87 On 09.11.2008, a stone memorial in they city of Frankfurt an der Oder, built in honor of the memory of the victims of the persecution against the Jewish (in the destruction of a temple in the Kristallnacht en 1938) was also attacked.88 124. On 04.10.2008, the Genocide Memorial in Rwanda was also attacked. Said memorial, - in the Gisozi Genocide Memorial Centre, in the city of Kigali in Rwanda, had been inaugurated in April 2004, on the tenth anniversary of the tragedy of the genocide in Rwanda. The memorial went on to shelter the mortal remains of 250 thousand, of the total of more than 800 thousand victims, of the genocide of 1994 in Rwanda; even so, it has been attacked, for the first time, on 04.10.2008, during a vigil organized in memory of the victims of the mentioned tragedy.89 Said attacks to memorials in honor of the memory of victims of atrocities, in different parks of the world, raise questions that are without a doubt disturbing. 125. Memories are uncomfortable, and even so we have to nurture them. Memories chase us, and even so we have to live with them. More than that, we have to fight for them. Feelings of hate and vengeance are hard to eradicate,90 as can be concluded from Aeschylus’ The Oresteia. Collective memory seeks, instead of vengeance, the realization of justice, in honor of the victims.91 The preservation of memories requires awareness and determination. The entire debate originated by the monument “The Eye That Cries” has revealed that there is still a long way to go, before the deep wounds of the tragedy lived by the Peruvian people can heal.92 .

The fact that the problem of evil has always marked presence in the trajectory of philosophical thinking is not at all surprising (cf., inter alia, R.J. Bernstein, El Mal Radical - Una Indagación Filosófica, Ed. Lilmod, Buenos Aires, 2005, pp. 15-327) así como teológico (cf., inter alia, M. Neusch, L'énigme du mal, Paris, Bayard, 2007, pp. 7-193). 90 . C. Fournet, The Crime of Destruction and the Law of Genocide - Their Impact on Collective Memory, Aldershot, Ashgate Publ., 2007, p. 148, and cf. pp. 75-81 for the substantiation of the author on the existence of State crimes. 91 . What is the solution to the "impasse" of the identification of the victims to be honored in the monument “The Eye That Cries”? Is there any what to solve it? To this question, Mario Vargas Llosa responded: -"Yes. Turn around the rounded stones with the names that appear on them, hiding them temporarily from the public light, until time has healed the wounds, calmed the spirits, and has at some time established that consensus that allows one and another to accept the horror lived by Peru due to the criminal attempt of Sendero Luminoso (...) and the terrible abuses and injustices that the State’s forces committed in the fight against terror, they did not leave any innocents, they stained us all, by action and by omission, and it will only be as of that acknowledgment that we will be able to start building a democracy worthy of that name, where ignominies like those that stained our eighties and nineties are no longer conceivable." M. Vargas Llosa, "El Ojo que Llora", El País - Madrid, 14.01.2007, p. 2. – And this is not an isolated case; in another continent, debate with regard to the victims whose memory must be honored in the memorial at the cemetery that holds the remains of those murdered in the massacre of Srebrenica in July of 1995 has continued up to this date; cf., v.g., E. Suljagic, Postcards from the Grave, London, Saqi/Bosnian Institute, 2005, p. 196 (afterword de E. Vulliamy). 92
