Archiving Genocide in Real Time: Who Has the Right to Narrate Death?
Amid the systematic and widespread destruction of southern Lebanese villages, extending even to cemeteries, Lebanon is witnessing a genuine and growing concern with preserving what remains of personal and collective archives. Individuals, groups, and institutions are racing to salvage photographs, documents, and memories at risk of being lost forever.
