Laurie Levinger and Anna Moccia-Field have launched a new website with testimonies from Maya survivors of the civil war in Guatemala. Laurie, niece of Lincoln vet Sam Levinger, has been interviewing survivors for more than six years. Her book, What War? Testimonies of Maya Survivors / ¿Cuál guerra? Testimonios de sobrevivientes mayas include many testimonies taken in 2005-2007.

    Greetings. I am currently looking for a list of the victims, particularly those from the Nebaj, El Quiche area. As the Holocaust victims’ names have been compiled and are currently available on the website Yad Vasham, I am hoping someone has started a project for the victims of Guatemala’s Civil War. Please let me know if you are aware. Thanks.

    Since this article three years ago, Laurie’s work has continued. We are sending her back to Guatemala to release her new book, “Guerra inconclusa” to challenge the Guatemalan government decree that a genocide as a result of their civil war is a legal impossibility. It’s very important and with great IB Spirit that Laurie is heading back to the mountains of Guatemala and the people who have come to rely on her singular power to help make a difference in their lives.
