Dalam 36 tahun konflik bersenjata Guatemala, 200.000 masyarakat sipil terbunuh -- dan lebih dari 40.000 di antaranya tak pernah teridentifikasi. Antropolog forensik Fredy Peccerelli dan timnya menggunakan DNA, ilmu arkeologi, dan metode penceritaan untuk membantu para keluarga menemukan jasad orang-orang terkasih mereka. Tugas yang menyedihkan, namun memberi kedamaian -- dan terkadang, keadilan.

Kami pun pergi
01:30
We left Guatemala and we came here.
24
78583
1754
meninggalkan Guatemala dan tiba disini.
01:32
So I grew up in New York,
25
80337

Saya tumbuh di New York.
01:33
I grew up in Brooklyn as a matter of fact,
and I went to New Utrecht High School

The only thing was that
28
87141
1566
Hanya saja,
01:40
I really didn't know what
was happening in Guatemala.

29
88707

saya tak begitu tahu
apa yang terjadi di Guatemala.

01:44
I didn't care for it; it was too painful.
30
92578
2869
Saya tak peduli; itu terlalu menyakitkan.
01:47
But it wasn't till 1995 that I decided
to do something about it.
to do something about it.
31
95447
4307
Baru pada tahun 1995
saya memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu.
saya memutuskan untuk melakukan sesuatu.
01:51
So I went back.
32
99754
1154
Jadi, saya kembali.
01:52
I went back to Guatemala,
to look for the bodies,

33
100908
3580
Saya kembali ke Guatemala
untuk mencari jenazah para korban,

02:02
The way we work is that
we give people information.
we give people information.
35
110051
3363
Kami bekerja dengan memberikan informasi.
02:05
We talk to the family members
and we let them choose.
and we let them choose.
36
113414
2970
Kami bicara dengan keluarga korban dan
memberi mereka pilihan.

02:08
We let them decide to tell
us the stories,
us the stories,

116384
3230
Kami berikan mereka pilihan untuk
memutuskan berbagi kisah mereka,

39
121466
2128
bercerita tentang orang tercinta mereka.
02:15
And even more important,
40
123594
1286
Dan yang lebih penting,
02:16
we let them choose to
give us a piece of themselves.
give us a piece of themselves.
41
124880
3998
kami memberikan mereka pilihan untuk
berbagi sebagian diri mereka.

02:20
A piece, an essence, of who they are.
42
128878
2476
Sekeping identitas mereka.
02:23
And that DNA is what we're
going to compare
going to compare
43
131354
2257
DNA itulah yang kami gunakan
untuk perbandingan
untuk perbandingan
02:25
to the DNA that comes
from the skeletons.
from the skeletons.
44
133611
2720
dengan DNA yang kami ambil
dari kerangka korban.
dari kerangka korban.
02:28
While we're doing that, though,
we're looking for the bodies.
we're looking for the bodies.
45
136331
3055
Di saat yang sama,
kami juga mencari jenazah para korban.
kami juga mencari jenazah para korban.
02:31
And these are skeletons by now,
46
139386
1988
Mereka tinggal tulang belulang sekarang,
02:33
most of these crimes
happened 32 years ago.
happened 32 years ago.
47
141374
2906
sebagian besar kejahatan tersebut terjadi
32 tahun yang lalu.
32 tahun yang lalu.
02:36
When we find the grave,
48
144280
1246
Saat kami menemukan makam,
02:37
we take out the dirt and eventually clean
the body, document it, and exhume it.
the body, document it, and exhume it.
49
145526
4130
kami gali tanahnya, bersihkan jasadnya,
mendokumentasikannya, dan mengeluarkannya.
mendokumentasikannya, dan mengeluarkannya.
02:41
We literally bring the
skeleton out of the ground.
skeleton out of the ground.
50
149656
3439
Kami benar-benar mengeluarkan kerangka
mereka dari dalam tanah.
mereka dari dalam tanah.
02:45
Once we have those bodies, though,
we take them back to the city, to our lab,
we take them back to the city, to our lab,
51
153095
4142
Setelah menemukan jasad,
kami bawa ke kota, ke lab kami
kami bawa ke kota, ke lab kami
02:49
and we begin a process of trying
to understand mainly two things:
to understand mainly two things:
52
157237
3084
dan kami memulai proses
untuk memahami dua hal:
untuk memahami dua hal:
02:52
One is how people died.
53
160321
2293
Satu: bagaimana mereka meninggal.
02:54
So here you see a gunshot
wound to the back of the head
wound to the back of the head
54
162614
3104
Jadi di sini, Anda bisa lihat luka tembak
di belakang kepala
di belakang kepala
02:57
or a machete wound, for example.
55
165718
2649
atau luka bacokan parang, misalnya.
03:00
The other thing we want to understand
is who they are.
is who they are.
56
168367
3326
Kami juga ingin tahu siapa mereka.
03:03
Whether it's a baby,
57
171693
3459
Entah itu bayi
03:07
or an adult.
58
175152
1657
atau orang dewasa.
03:08
Whether it's a woman or a man.
59
176809
2140
Entah itu perempuan atau laki-laki.
03:10
But when we're done
with that analysis
with that analysis
60
178949
1783
Setelah kami selesai menganalisa
03:12
what we'll do is we'll take a small
fragment of the bone
fragment of the bone
61
180732
2726
kami mengambil sepotong kecil
tulang mereka
tulang mereka
03:15
and we'll extract DNA from it.
62
183458
2814
dan mengekstrak DNA mereka.
03:18
We'll take that DNA
63
186272
1095
Kami gunakan DNA tersebut
03:19
and then we'll compare it with the
DNA of the families, of course.
DNA of the families, of course.
64
187367
4760
untuk membandingkannya dengan
DNA para keluarga, tentunya.
DNA para keluarga, tentunya.
03:24
The best way to explain this to you
is by showing you two cases.
is by showing you two cases.
65
192127
3644
Cara terbaik menjelaskannya pada Anda
adalah dengan menunjukkan dua kasus.
adalah dengan menunjukkan dua kasus.
03:27
The first is the case
of the military diary.
of the military diary.
66
195771
2547
Yang pertama adalah jurnal militer.
03:30
Now this is a document that was smuggled
out of somewhere in 1999.
out of somewhere in 1999.
67
198318
4675
Ini adalah dokumen yang diselundupkan
pada tahun 1999.
pada tahun 1999.
03:34
And what you see there
is the state following individuals,
is the state following individuals,
68
202993
4680
Yang Anda lihat di sini adalah
negara memonitor para individu,
negara memonitor para individu,
03:39
people that, like you,
wanted to change their country,
wanted to change their country,
69
207673
3931
orang-orang yang, seperti Anda,
ingin mengubah negara mereka
ingin mengubah negara mereka
03:43
and they jotted everything down.
70
211604
2880
dan negara mencatat semuanya.
03:46
And one of the things that they wrote
down is when they executed them.
down is when they executed them.
71
214484
4250
Salah satu yang dicatat di sini adalah
kapan negara mengeksekusi mereka.
kapan negara mengeksekusi mereka.
03:50
Inside that yellow rectangle,
you see a code,
you see a code,
72
218734
2981
Di dalam kotak persegi kuning itu,
Anda akan melihat kode,
Anda akan melihat kode,
03:53
it's a secret code: 300.
73
221715
2311
itu kode rahasia: 300.
03:56
And then you see a date.
74
224026
1497
Kemudian Anda melihat tanggal.
03:57
The 300 means "executed" and the date
means when they were executed.
means when they were executed.
75
225523
3673
300 berarti "telah dieksekusi"
dan tanggal itu adalah tanggal eksekusi.
dan tanggal itu adalah tanggal eksekusi.
04:01
Now that's going to come
into play in a second.
into play in a second.
76
229196
3388
Ini penting dalam penjelasan berikutnya.
04:05
What we did is we conducted
an exhumation in 2003,
an exhumation in 2003,
77
233064
3625
Kami melakukan penggalian jenazah
pada tahun 2003
pada tahun 2003
04:08
where we exhumed 220 bodies
from 53 graves in a military base.
from 53 graves in a military base.
78
236689
4841
dimana kami menggali 220 jenazah dari
53 makam di markas militer.
53 makam di markas militer.
04:14
Grave 9, though, matched the family
of Sergio Saul Linares.
of Sergio Saul Linares.
79
242640
3995
Isi Makam 9 cocok dengan keluarga
Sergio Saul Linares.
Sergio Saul Linares.
04:18
Now Sergio was a professor
at the university.
at the university.
80
246635
2726
Sergio adalah profesor di universitas.
04:21
He graduted from Iowa State University
81
249361
2391
Ia lulus dari Iowa State University
04:23
and went back to Guatemala
to change his country.
to change his country.
82
251752
2377
dan kembali ke Guatemala
untuk mengubah negaranya.
untuk mengubah negaranya.
04:26
And he was captured on
February 23, 1984.
February 23, 1984.
83
254129
3874
Dan ia ditangkap tanggal 23 Februari 1984.
04:30
And if you can see there, he was
executed on March 29, 1984,
executed on March 29, 1984,
84
258003
4089
Dan Anda bisa lihat, ia dieksekusi
pada tanggal 29 Maret 1984.
pada tanggal 29 Maret 1984.
04:34
which was incredible.
85
262092
1566
Luar biasa.
04:35
We had the body, we had the family's
information and their DNA,
information and their DNA,
86
263658
3022
Kami punya jasad, informasi keluarga,
dan DNA mereka,
dan DNA mereka,
04:38
and now we have documents
that told us exactly what happened.
that told us exactly what happened.
87
266680
3346
dan kini, kami punya dokumen
yang memberi tahu apa yang terjadi.
yang memberi tahu apa yang terjadi.
04:42
But most important is about
two weeks later,
two weeks later,
88
270026
3103
Lalu hal yang terpenting terjadi
sekitar dua minggu kemudian,
sekitar dua minggu kemudian,
04:45
we go another hit, another match
89
273129
2687
kami menemukan kecocokan lain
04:47
from the same grave to Amancio Villatoro.
90
275816
4801
dari makam yang sama,
dengan Amancio Villatoro.
dengan Amancio Villatoro.
04:52
The DNA of that body
also matched the DNA of that family.
also matched the DNA of that family.
91
280617
2746
DNA jenazahnya cocok
dengan DNA keluarganya.
dengan DNA keluarganya.
04:55
And then we noticed
that he was also in the diary.
that he was also in the diary.
92
283363
3369
Dan kami juga melihat namanya di jurnal.
04:58
But it was amazing to see that he was
also executed on March 29, 1984.
also executed on March 29, 1984.
93
286732
5171
Tapi yang mengejutkan,
ia juga dieksekusi tanggal 29 Maret 1984.
ia juga dieksekusi tanggal 29 Maret 1984.
05:03
So that led us to think, hmm,
how many bodies were in the grave?
how many bodies were in the grave?
94
291903
3846
Jadi kami berpikir,
berapa banyak jasad di dalam makam itu?
berapa banyak jasad di dalam makam itu?
05:08
Six.
95
296226
1187
Enam.
05:09
So then we said, how many people
were executed on March 29, 1984?
were executed on March 29, 1984?
96
297413
6677
Pertanyaan berikutnya,berapa orang yang
dieksekusi pada tanggal 29 Maret 1984?
dieksekusi pada tanggal 29 Maret 1984?
05:18
That's right, six as well.
97
306716
2318
Benar sekali, enam juga.
05:21
So we have Juan de Dios, Hugo,
Moises and Zoilo.
Moises and Zoilo.
98
309034
5692
Jadi, kami punya Juan de Dios, Hugo,
Moises dan Zoilo.
Moises dan Zoilo.
05:26
All of them executed on the same date,
all captured at different locations
all captured at different locations
99
314726
3848
Semua dieksekusi pada tanggal yang sama,
tapi ditangkap di lokasi berbeda
tapi ditangkap di lokasi berbeda
05:30
and at different moments.
100
318574
1754
dan pada saat yang berbeda.
05:32
All put in that grave.
101
320328
1164
Semua di makam yang sama.
05:33
The only thing we needed now
was the DNA of those four families
was the DNA of those four families
102
321492
3144
Satu-satunya yang kami butuhkan
adalah DNA dari empat keluarga itu
adalah DNA dari empat keluarga itu
05:36
So we went and we looked for them
and we found them.
and we found them.
103
324636
3245
Jadi kami mencari dan menemukan mereka.
05:39
And we identified those six bodies
and gave them back to the families.
and gave them back to the families.
104
327881
3963
Kami mengidentifikasi enam jasad itu
dan mengembalikannya pada keluarga mereka.
dan mengembalikannya pada keluarga mereka.
05:44
The other case I want to tell you about
105
332344
2439
Kasus lain yang ingin saya ceritakan
05:46
is that of a military base
called CREOMPAZ.
called CREOMPAZ.
106
334783
4088
adalah sebuah markas militer
yang disebut CREOMPAZ.
yang disebut CREOMPAZ.
05:50
It actually means, "to believe in peace,"
but the acronym really means
but the acronym really means
107
338871
4611
Artinya, "percaya pada kedamaian,"
tapi kepanjangannya adalah

05:55
Regional Command Center
for Peacekeeping Operations.
for Peacekeeping Operations.
108
343482
3019
Pusat Komando Regional untuk
Operasi Perdamaian.
Operasi Perdamaian.
05:58
And this is where the Guatemalan military
trains peacekeepers from other countries,
trains peacekeepers from other countries,
109
346501
4990
Di sinilah militer Guatemala melatih
pasukan penjaga perdamaian negara lain,
pasukan penjaga perdamaian negara lain,
06:03
the ones that serve with the U.N.
110
351491
2841
mereka yang bertugas bersama PBB
06:06
and go to countries
like Haiti and the Congo.
like Haiti and the Congo.
111
354332
2763
dan pergi ke negara-negara
seperti Haiti dan Kongo.
seperti Haiti dan Kongo.
06:09
Well, we have testimony that said that
within this military base,
within this military base,
112
357095
3513
Kami punya kesaksian bahwa
di dalam markas militer ini
di dalam markas militer ini
06:12
there were bodies, there were graves.
113
360608
2105
ada banyak jenazah, ada makam.
06:14
So we went in there with a search warrant
and about two hours after we went in,
and about two hours after we went in,
114
362713
3855
Jadi kami ke sana dengan surat izin
geledah, dan dua jam setelah kami masuk,
geledah, dan dua jam setelah kami masuk,
06:18
we found the first of 84 graves,
a total of 533 bodies.

115
366568
5624
kami menemukan makam pertama dari
84 makam, dan total 533 jenazah.
84 makam, dan total 533 jenazah.
06:24
Now, if you think about that,

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Fredy Peccerelli - Forensic anthropologistFredy Peccerelli works with families whose loved ones “disappeared” in the 36-year armed conflict in Guatemala. The executive director of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation, he helps locate bodies and give back identities to those buried in mass graves.
Why you should listen
In Guatemala’s brutal civil war, 200,000 civilians were killed — and more than 40,000 of them were never found. They are referred to as the “disappeared,” and since the end of the conflict, their bodies have been found in unmarked mass graves with very little information to identify them.
Fredy Peccerelli has a personal connection to this tragic story. He was born in Guatemala, but when his father received threats from a death squad, his family left for the United States. It was 1980 and Peccerelli was 9. He quickly adapted to life in Brooklyn, New York. But in 1994, while a college student, he heard a presentation on the emerging field of forensic anthropology. The speakers talked about exhuming bodies from mass graves in Guatemala, and Peccerelli was fascinated. He wanted to help.
Peccerelli founded the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation, which meets with the families of the “disappeared,” listens to their stories and takes DNA samples to match to exhumed bodies. In this way, they are able to piece together narratives of what happened — in order to give families closure and to provide evidence for the trials of those involved in the deaths.
Pecerrelli has been profiled on PBS, in The New York Times and more. He recently launched the “No More Missing” campaign to raise money for an interactive website to tell the stories of the Guatemalan "disappeared" on the global stage. He wants people across the world to see the connection between what happened Guatemala and what is happening today in countries like Mexico.
