re-educate them. Later on he followed the same path in Bihar addressing the majority Hindu population. Such affirmative actions highlight the importance of culture and education and left for us a legacy which can be re-ignited through memory. In the post-conflict society memory plays important role to uphold truth and human suffering which strengthens the call for justice. Documentation, preservation and presentation of memory contribute to the understanding of past atrocities and strengthens the process of healing through recognition, restitution and rehabilitation. In many cases when the state fails to deliver justice, the international and regional organizations could not play the role expected from them, the nation remain divided and distanced, the process of memorialization can play the role to heal and reconcile. Every society has its own strength to memorialize, be it small or grandeur. When memory takes concrete form, be it a song, a book, painting, film, theatre or an institution like museum it creates opportunity to make the experiences of human suffering and struggle concrete and inter-generational. In memory the spirit of humanity persists over elements of hatred and human dimensions prevail over acts of atrocity. That's why memory as an important component of culture plays significant role in any post-conflict society. It is imperative to give collective memory-builders a role to play in ensuring Transitional Justice and overcoming the legacy of past violence. Here we can mention the role the Liberation War Museum (LWM) played in Bangladesh in its effort to upkeep the memory of massive human suffering during the struggle for liberation. The museum was established as a citizen's effort in 1996, twenty-five years after the tragic event. Over the years the museum enhanced its collection, implemented elaborate programs and earned recognition as an important place of memory. LWM opened its door at a rented two-storied colonial building in the city centre with artifacts, documents and memorabilia of past events. In the backdrop of denial and distortion of history by the state authority the presentation of history through documents and facts generated great interest. The museum got strong support from the community and the private museum gradually became a people's museum. This has led LWM to further its activity with community support. The museum introduced an oral history project to collect eye-witness account of 1971 days by involving young students of the new generation. The Mobile Museum which goes to various educational institutions all over the country presents a glimpse of history to the students. At the end of the program the students are encouraged to learn from senior members of their family about their experiences of 1971 days. The students then write-down what they hear and send those to the museum. Thus LWM is building an archive of memory and so far has collected more than 22,000 eye-witness accounts which proved to be a treasure of people's view of historical events. Memorialization gave recognition to the victims and individual memory became part of collective understanding of the past. Memory by itself cannot solve the problems of post-conflict society but memory can lead the way to healing and justice. Memory is also a cry for justice and never allows impunity to prevail. The journey of Bangladesh and LWM to memorialize the past has created opportunity to have justice even after long denial of four decades. Memory while projecting what happened and how it happened also raises the question of why it happened. That puts the society and humanity on a path to deeper understanding of the past to thwart renewed violence and look for ways to establish harmony.
