The Unspeakable Things That Happened During The Silent Holocaust

The Silent Holocaust, also known as the Guatemalan Genocide, was a brutal period in the history of Guatemala. This dark chapter in human history saw the extermination of an estimated 200,000 Indigenous people, mostly Mayan, by the Guatemalan government and military forces between 1960 and 1996. Despite the enormity of this tragedy, it remains relatively unknown to the wider world. In this video, we aim to shed light on this devastating event in history and its impact on the people of Guatemala. We will explore the reasons behind the genocide, the methods used by the government and military forces to execute their plan, and the aftermath of the violence.
