The Iraq Memory
Foundation staff
both in Baghdad and
Washington are
engaged in a
long-term effort to
provide Iraqi
society and the
world a view of the
inner workings of
the Ba'thist
institutions of
repression and
social control that
dominated all
aspects of Iraqi
life between 1968
and 2003.

Oral History
To give voice to the
many thousands of
victims and
survivors of
atrocity in Iraq,
this program records
on film in-depth
testimonies of the
survivors,
first-hand witnesses
of Ba'thist
atrocities. The
unprecedented
opportunity to speak
openly with so many
Iraqis, coupled with
the fleeting nature
of human life and
memory, makes this
work extremely
urgent. As of
January 2005, the
Foundation had
conducted 20
in-depth interviews
for historical
purposes. These will
be televised on
Iraqi and Arab
networks
broadcasting
throughout the
Middle East. As
funds become
available, the
number of interviews
will increase to
document the stories
of thousands of
experiences of
Ba'thist victims
from all regions of
the country. |

Under a brutal
authoritarian
government, Iraq's
culture took many
startling and unique
forms. Most visible
was propaganda,
which tried to make
atrocity the norm.
In explicit
opposition was the
forbidden art of
dissidents and
exiles |

Truth
is a healing force. To recover from
their wounds and to lay a foundation
for present and future justice the
people of Iraq must come to terms
with the atrocities perpetrated
under Saddam Hussein's brutal
regime. Iraqis are now forging new
identities in a very different
society. The Iraq Memory Foundation
has as its mission: to encourage and
inform that development free from
half-truths and distortions; to use
the Iraq experience to advance
knowledge throughout the world and,
by so doing, to honor the victims
and the survivors of this dark era
in the country's history.
