And the incredibly moving story continues — father and son meet after 30 years, during which the father believed all of his children dead in the Dos Erres massacre in Guatemala.
Kudos to ProPublica for the original story and all the follow-ups.

ProPublica's incredible piece 'Finding Oscar: Massacre, Memory and Justice in Guatemala'
UPDATE: link fixed
This is 1) an incredibly moving story; 2) the best example of long-form journalism I've seen in ages; 3) the Guatemala that shaped who I am, how I see the world and my need to tell stories about it; and 4) one of the reasons why memory/remembering/witnessing/breaking silence are recurring motifs in my work.
Kudos to ProPublica and the writers. And I've got new heroes: Special Human Rights prosecutor Sara Romero, activist Aura Elena Farfán and Fredy Peccerelli of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation.
