Abstract
The present work reflects philosophically on the memory of the violence experienced in Peru between the years 1980-2000. Following the studies of Paul Ricoeur and Tzvetan Todorov, among others, it analyzes the understanding of memory and its implications in the constitution of identity; understanding that it is from the constituted identity, with the help of memory, that a better future is built. In this sense, we understand memory as a constant dialogue with all direct and indirect authors, where the testimony of the subjects occupies a primary place. Any speech that cuts, deletes, manipulates or makes up cannot be understood as an exemplary memory process. The truth revealed in the testimonies also requires from us as citizens, concrete actions that seek to grant justice to the victims for the damages suffered, not covered by feelings of guilt, but as an act of responsibility towards history.
