Photographs, drawings, and other works of art that capture the reality of the war and difficult past of the country play an especially important role in counteracting the denial and suppression of harsh truths. These images help make the “unimaginable” and “unthinkable” imaginable, counteract denial and forgetting, and provide a description and invoke emotion associated with an event when words fail. Analysis of these images helps bring trauma to the foreground to be seen, acknowledged, and accepted, putting and end to suppression and initiating a process of healing and growth.
