The primary sources included in this project were selected to reflect the complexity of the Guatemalan Civil War and the different perspectives surrounding the violence committed against Indigenous Maya communities. These sources include government intelligence reports, newspaper articles, survivor testimonies, documentary films, military records, and human rights reporting, which together demonstrate how violence was documented, interpreted, denied, and remembered. Some sources reflect the perspectives of U.S. and Guatemalan government officials who monitored or justified violence during the conflict, while others focus on the voices of Indigenous survivors, journalists, and human rights advocates who exposed the destruction of Maya communities and, in turn, demanded accountability. By including sources created by perpetrators, state officials, government officials and victims, this project shows how power and political interests shaped public understanding of the conflict and often contributed to the silencing of Indigenous experiences. Collectively, these sources show the lasting effects of violence, displacement, disappearances, and genocide during what is now widely referred to as the Guatemalan Silent Holocaust.
