Entre el olvido y la verdad: La construcción de la memoria en Los informantes de Juan Gabriel Vásquez

Based on studies about memory by thinkers such as Paul Ricoeur, Maurice Halbwachs, and Tzvetan Todorov, this study examines how historical memory, individual memory, and collective memory operate in the novel The informers by colombian writer Juan Gabriel Vásquez. To do this, the main characters of the work (Gabriel Santoro Sr., Gabriel Santoro Jr., Sara Guterman, and Konrad Deresser) are used as references, with the purpose of revealing what is 'unspoken' by the official history about the Black Lists, Jewish antisemitism, Nazism in Colombia, and the concentration camp at Hotel Sabaneta in Fusagasugá.
