Forgeries

Hi Marisa,

Hopefully this is relevant to your topic, but while reading over your page I kept going back to the idea of record forgeries made during genocides. Specifically the forgery of records of artwork ownership during the Holocaust, which I read about somewhere but am not entirely sure about the authenticity of this information...Maybe just take a look at the authenticity of records created during then? I think this follows well with your topic about perpetrators using archives to "enact violence against genocide victims." Other than that it looks like you're off to a great start! Can't wait to see the finished page.

Hi Morgan,

It would be interesting to look more into archives created by perpetrators and the issue of authenticity. I know one of my sources talks about issues around truth and the reliability of perpetrator-created archives as evidence (Dawne Adam, The Tuol Sleng Archives and the Cambodian Genocide) so I'll be sure to include that in my page.

Thanks for the feedback!
