海默电影杀戮演绎揭露不为人知历史

Joshua Oppenheimer's 2012 film, "The Act of Killing," explored the aftermath of massacres of communists, trade-unionists, ethnic Chinese and others in Indonesia in 1965 and 1966.

约书亚·海默2012年的电影《杀戮演绎》探究了1965到1966年间在印度尼西亚对共产主义人士、活动人士、华裔以及其他人大规模屠杀的影响。

“There was a right-wing military coup, where the government of Sukarno was overthrown. This was supported by most of the Western world, including the United States,and to effect this, somewhere between half a million and 2.5 million people were killed in less than six months.”

“右翼曾发动军事政变,苏加诺政府被推翻。政变得到包括美国在内的大部分西方国家的支持。结果在不到6个月间大约50万到250万人被害。”

Even today 16 years after the end of Suharto's military dictatorship, the former paramilitary death-squad killers and their proteges remain powerful and respected.

即使是印尼军事独裁结束16年后的今天,杀人者和被他们保护的人仍然坐拥权势而且受人尊重。

“At lunch in the recess at school, and heard his teachers saying tonight we're going to kill Ramli. And he had to go home that night and tell his mother what his teachers said."

“在学校的午饭休息时间,他的老师们就在谈论今晚我们要杀掉拉姆利。于是他回家后告诉母亲老师们的谈话。"

"Ramli was indeed killed that night.And the next day, what did she have to do? She had to send her other children back to that school to be taught by her son's murderers."

"拉姆利确实在那晚被杀掉。但第二天她做了什么?她送其他的孩子到那个学校,让害死她儿子的凶手们继续教授她的其他孩子。”

Even now,Indonesian schoolchildren are taught that the mass killings were necessary and patriotic.

即使现在印尼中小学中教师也教导学生们当时的杀人行动是必须且是爱国主义。

“It's not talked about as a genocide,it's talked about as the heroic extermination of the Indonesian left,and what's taught is that they somehow deserved what happened to them.”

“他们传授的不是种族灭绝,而是一种英雄主义般的处决行动。按照他们的说法,受害者都是罪有应得。”

 

In washington, Democratic Senator Tom Udall has introduced a resolution calling for the U.S. to disclose all documents relating to American support for the Indonesian military coup and genocidal regime.

在华盛顿,美国国会参议员汤姆·尤德尔提出了一项决议,他呼吁美国政府将支持印尼军事政变以及种族灭绝政权有关的所有文件公布于众。
