Prologue Ira Glass Oscar was 31, working two jobs with three little kids and a fourth on the way.
序言 艾拉·格拉斯·奥斯卡 (Ira Glass Oscar) 31 岁,带着三个孩子做两份工作,第四份工作即将开始。
His living room in Framingham, Massachusetts, a Boston suburb, was covered with toys, and in the kitchen in a corner were some trophies that he won as a bull fighter as a teenager back in Guatemala where he grew up.
他位于波士顿郊区马萨诸塞州弗雷明汉的客厅里堆满了玩具,厨房的一个角落里放着他十几岁时在危地马拉长大的斗牛士赢得的一些奖杯。
He'd been in the United States since he was 19, a dozen years.
他从19岁起就来到美国,十几年了。
And then, he had a strange phone call.
然后,他接到了一个奇怪的电话。
A woman from the public prosecutor's office back in Guatemala was looking for him.
危地马拉检察官办公室的一名女士正在寻找他。
Now, he was in the United States illegally.
现在,他非法居留在美国。
And he worried, could it be about that somehow?
他担心,会不会是因为这个?
And then, he spoke with this woman.
然后,他就和这个女人说话了。
Her name was Sara Romero, and it had nothing to do with that.
她的名字叫萨拉·罗梅罗,与此无关。
It was way stranger.
这真是太陌生了。
She had been looking into a massacre that had happened back in the early 1980s out in the countryside in a tiny town during Guatemala's civil war.
她一直在调查 20 世纪 80 年代初危地马拉内战期间在一个小镇的乡村发生的一场大屠杀。
And she believed Oscar was one of the survivors.
她相信奥斯卡是幸存者之一。
I was, like, confused.
我很困惑。
I didn't know what she was talking about.
我不知道她在说什么。
She said, "I know you don't know much about it or you probably don't know anything about it," because I was quiet.
她说,“我知道你对此了解不多,或者你可能对此一无所知”,因为我很安静。
I was just listening to what she was saying.
我只是在听她说的话。
Clearly, they have the wrong person, Oscar thought.
显然,他们找错了人,奥斯卡想。
He had never been to the little town where this massacre happened.
他从未去过发生这场屠杀的小镇。
He grew up far away from there.
他在远离那里的地方长大。
He didn't have any questions about his past.
对于自己的过去,他没有任何疑问。
In fact, he had a pretty idyllic childhood.
事实上,他有一个非常田园诗般的童年。
Yes, his mom had died when he was a baby.
是的,他的妈妈在他还是个婴儿的时候就去世了。
Yes, his dad was killed in a truck accident when he was four.
是的,他的父亲在他四岁时在一场卡车事故中丧生。
But his dad's mom, his grandmother, raised him comfortably.
但他爸爸的妈妈,也就是他的祖母,把他抚养长大。
He felt loved.
他感到被爱。
What Sara told Oscar was this.
莎拉告诉奥斯卡的是这样的。
The massacre that she was investigating happen in 1982, when Oscar was three at a village called Dos Erres.
她正在调查的大屠杀发生在 1982 年,当时奥斯卡三岁,住在一个叫多斯埃雷斯的村庄。
More than 200 people were killed there Sara had spoken to several soldiers who were at the massacre, and they told her that two boys had been spared.
那里有 200 多人被杀,萨拉与参与屠杀的几名士兵交谈,他们告诉她,有两个男孩幸免于难。
One of the boys, the soldier said, was taken by a lieutenant named Oscar Ramirez Ramos.
这名士兵说,其中一名男孩被一位名叫奥斯卡·拉米雷斯·拉莫斯的中尉带走。
That was Oscar's dad.
那是奥斯卡的父亲。
If Sara's suspicions were right, the man that Oscar thought was his father, the man he had looked up to his entire life, had stolen him from his biological family.
如果萨拉的怀疑是对的,那么奥斯卡认为是他父亲的那个男人,那个他一生仰慕的男人,把他从他的亲生家庭中偷走了。
His unit killed them and their entire village, Dos Erres.
他的部队杀死了他们和他们的整个村庄,Dos Erres。
Though, Sara says, when she first contacted Oscar--
不过,萨拉说,当她第一次联系奥斯卡时——
I told him about the two boys.
我告诉他那两个男孩的事。
We felt getting into any specifics about the participation of his dad so as not to hurt his feelings.
我们想了解有关他父亲参与的任何细节,以免伤害他的感情。
But I let him know that he could be one of the surviving boys.
但我让他知道他可能是幸存的男孩之一。
Well, today on our radio show, we have investigators trying to solve an unsolved murder of more than 200 people from the 1980s in a case that could potentially nudge the political climate of their entire country, and finally hold military officials responsible for massacres that happened there.
嗯,今天在我们的广播节目中,调查人员试图侦破 200 年代 200 年代的一起悬而未决的谋杀案,这起案件可能会影响整个国家的政治气候,并最终追究军方官员对那里发生的屠杀负责。
Just this week, the former president of the country was indicted for genocide in this case.
就在本周,该国前总统在此案中被指控犯有种族灭绝罪。
And at the center of the whole thing is a guy, Oscar Ramirez, who discovers that everything he thought about his past-- his dad, who he really is-- is all a lie.
整件事的中心人物是奥斯卡·拉米雷斯,他发现他对过去的一切想法——他的父亲,他的真实身份——都是谎言。
Oscar's DNA, the DNA of this guy in some Boston suburb, becomes the final piece of evidence in this case.
奥斯卡的 DNA,这个波士顿郊区某个人的 DNA,成为了这起案件的最后证据。
The idea is that if they could just prove with his DNA that he was stolen from Dos Erres, they could link the lieutenant who raised him and his unit to this massacre.
他们的想法是,如果他们能用他的 DNA 证明他是从多斯埃雷斯偷来的,他们就可以将养育他的中尉和他的部队与这场大屠杀联系起来。
For the very first time, they might bring high level soldiers and officers to justice for one of these massacres, which had never been done in Guatemala.
他们可能第一次将高级士兵和军官因其中一次大屠杀而绳之以法,这在危地马拉从未发生过。
From WBEZ Chicago, it's This American Life, distributed by Public Radio International.
这是来自芝加哥 WBEZ 的《This American Life》,由国际公共广播电台发行。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
Our program today is a co-production with ProPublica and the Fundacion MEPI in Mexico City.
我们今天的节目是与 ProPublica 和墨西哥城 MEPI 基金会联合制作的。
It has taken months to report and research.
报告和研究花了几个月的时间。
It is truly an amazing, heartbreaking tale that takes us deep inside some experiences that I think we all see headlines about that can often seem very far away and hard to imagine the reality of, that, as you'll hear, are not far away at all.
这确实是一个令人惊叹、令人心碎的故事,它让我们深入了解一些我认为我们都看到过的头条新闻的经历,这些经历往往看起来非常遥远,很难想象现实,正如你会听到的那样,它们根本就不远。
We're devoting our entire program to it.
我们将整个计划投入其中。
Stay with us.
留在我们身边。
OK, before we dive into this story, just a quick history review.
好的,在我们深入了解这个故事之前,先快速回顾一下历史。
Now, I myself was the kind of insufferable, politically correct person who was obsessed with Latin America back in the 1980s.
现在,我自己就是那种在 20 世纪 80 年代痴迷于拉丁美洲的令人难以忍受、政治正确的人。
I called Nicaragua "Neek-ar-ah-wah," and actually went to Nicaragua for a month during the fifth anniversary of the Sandinista revolution.
我称尼加拉瓜为“Neek-ar-ah-wah”,实际上在桑地诺革命五周年期间去了尼加拉瓜一个月。
I traveled in Guatemala during the civil war.
内战期间我在危地马拉旅行。
You, however, might be what we call a normal person and didn't do any of that.
然而,你可能就是我们所谓的正常人,并没有做任何这些事。
So to provide some context, I turned to Kate Doyle, who's testified as an expert witness in the trials of human rights abuses by senior military officials in Guatemala.
因此,为了提供一些背景信息,我求助于凯特·多伊尔,她在危地马拉高级军事官员侵犯人权的审判中作为专家证人出庭作证。
She's a senior analyst at a watchdog group in Washington, D.C., called the National Security Archive.
她是华盛顿特区一个名为国家安全档案馆的监督组织的高级分析师。
The violence in Guatemala made the country an outlier, because you don't have anything on the scale of what happened in that country in places like Peru or Argentina or Chile.
危地马拉的暴力事件使该国成为一个异类,因为在秘鲁、阿根廷或智利等地发生的暴力事件规模远不及该国。
And so when you talk about this, I picture, OK, somewhere in the back of your mind, there's a list of the ranking of most f'ed up countries in the region.
因此,当你谈论这个问题时,我会想象,好吧,在你脑海深处的某个地方,有一个该地区最烦躁国家的排名列表。
Right.
正确的。
Ira Glass And is Guatemala number one?
Ira Glass 危地马拉是第一吗?
Guatemala is way up there.
危地马拉遥遥领先。
Ira Glass Give me the rankings.
Ira Glass 给我排名。
OK, so number one f'ed up is?
好的,那么第一个问题是?
Honduras probably right now.
洪都拉斯可能就是现在。
Ira Glass Honduras?
艾拉·格拉斯洪都拉斯?
Honduras is bad.
洪都拉斯的情况很糟糕。
Ira Glass OK, and then number two?
艾拉·格拉斯(Ira Glass) 好的,那么第二个呢?
Guatemala is pretty bad.
危地马拉的情况相当糟糕。
Ira Glass Pretty bad going back decades.
艾拉·格拉斯(Ira Glass)几十年前的情况相当糟糕。
Starting in the 1960s, small guerrilla groups challenged what was a corrupt and repressive government.
从 20 世纪 60 年代开始,小型游击队向腐败和专制的政府发起挑战。
There was also a broader movement calling for political rights, land reform, workers' rights.
还有一场更广泛的运动呼吁政治权利、土地改革和工人权利。
This always met with brutal violence.
这总是会遭遇残酷的暴力。
Reformers were assassinated.
改革者被暗杀。
Civilian populations in the countryside were accused of harboring guerrillas and exterminated in the name of anti-communism.
农村的平民被指控窝藏游击队,并以反共主义的名义被消灭。
This violence peaked in the 1980s.
这种暴力行为在 20 世纪 80 年代达到顶峰。
These were essentially scorched earth operations.
这些基本上都是焦土行动。
Soldiers would sweep through targeted areas.
士兵们将扫荡目标区域。
They were using plans drafted by the Army High Command.
他们正在使用陆军最高司令部起草的计划。
And they would essentially kill everything in sight.
他们基本上会杀死眼前的一切。
She says that what's amazing is the pattern.
她说,令人惊奇的是这种模式。
You see the same techniques again and again.
您会一次又一次地看到相同的技术。
A warning-- this description gets violent.
警告——这种描述会变得暴力。
A patrol would enter the community, usually on market day when everybody was gathered.
巡逻队通常会在集市日进入社区,那时每个人都聚集在一起。
And they would immediately separate out the men from the women and children.
他们会立即将男人与女人和儿童分开。
And they would put them into some of the village's biggest buildings, like the school or the church.
他们会把它们安置在村里一些最大的建筑里,比如学校或教堂。
And then, the soldiers would proceed to destroy everything.

They would slaughter the animals.

And then they would kill them.

This happened in over 600 villages, tens of thousands of people.
这种情况发生在600多个村庄、数万人中。
A truth commission found that the number of Guatemalans killed or disappeared by their own government was over 180,000.
真相委员会发现,被本国政府杀害或失踪的危地马拉人数量超过 18 万。
And unlike many other Latin American countries, none of the soldiers and leaders who did all this were held accountable.
与许多其他拉丁美洲国家不同的是,做出这一切的士兵和领导人都没有被追究责任。
Many of them transitioned into civilian government.
他们中的许多人转变为文职政府。
Most of them continued to be very notable, very prominent figures in Guatemalan society.
他们中的大多数人仍然是危地马拉社会中非常著名的人物。
For years, the government denied the massacres happened at all.
多年来,政府一直否认发生过大屠杀。
Even after a peace treaty with the rebels in 1996, a truth commission was set up but told specifically not to name names, not to gather evidence for trials.
即使在 1996 年与叛乱分子签订和平条约后,真相委员会还是成立了,但被明确告知不要点名,也不要收集审判证据。
No soldier or military leader was brought to justice for the massacres-- until Dos Erres and the investigation into what happened there.
直到多斯·埃雷斯对那里发生的事情进行调查之前,没有任何士兵或军事领导人因大屠杀而被绳之以法。
Several people were involved in reporting the story that you're about to hear.
有几个人参与了您将要听到的故事的报道。
There's Sebastian Rotella and Ana Arana.
其中有塞巴斯蒂安·罗特拉和安娜·阿拉纳。
There's our producer, Brian Reed, and Habiba Nosheen.
这是我们的制片人布莱恩·里德和哈比巴·诺辛。
Sometimes, you're going to hear Brian in the tape.
有时,你会在磁带中听到布莱恩的声音。

Here she is.
她在这里。
When investigators started looking into the Dos Erres massacre in the '90s, people trying to uncover the truth about that sort of thing were being killed like an anthropologist, Myrna Mack, who was trying to expose the details of the military's scorched earth campaign and then was stabbed 27 times by a member of the president's intelligence team.
当调查人员开始调查 20 世纪 90 年代的多斯埃雷斯大屠杀时,试图揭开此类事件真相的人们都被杀害,就像人类学家米尔娜·麦克一样,她试图揭露军队焦土行动的细节,然后被总统情报团队的一名成员刺了 27 刀。
Or like in 1998 when a Catholic bishop headed a truth commission that concluded that the military was behind the vast majority of the atrocities during the civil war.
或者就像 1998 年,一位天主教主教领导的真相委员会得出的结论是,军队是内战期间绝大多数暴行的幕后黑手。
Just two days after the report came out, he was found bludgeoned to death with a concrete block in his garage.
报告发布两天后,他被发现在车库里被一块混凝土块殴打致死。
But none of this stopped a woman named Aura Elena Farfan when she first started looking into rumors of a secret grave at a place called Dos Erres.
但当一位名叫奥拉·埃琳娜·法尔凡 (Aura Elena Farfan) 的女士第一次开始调查有关多斯埃雷斯 (Dos Erres) 地方有一座秘密坟墓的传言时,这一切都没有阻止她。
Aura looks like someone's grandmother.

In 1984, a member of her family was disappeared.

Aura suspected the military was behind it, so she and her brother started looking into what happened.
奥拉怀疑军方是幕后黑手,所以她和她的兄弟开始调查发生的事情。
Two months later, her brother vanished, too.
两个月后,她的哥哥也失踪了。
So Aura started an organization to investigate and bring these kinds of cases to justice.
因此奥拉成立了一个组织来调查此类案件并将其绳之以法。
And that's how she came across the massacre of Dos Erres.
这就是她遭遇多斯埃雷斯大屠杀的原因。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator At the beginning of 1994, we received reports of bones being found just on the surface of the Earth.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 1994 年初,我们收到报告称在地球表面发现了骨头。
And in addition, there were reports of a well.

The well, Aura heard, had bodies inside of it.

She told my producer, Brian Reed, and me they trekked 7 and 1/2 miles into the jungle.
她告诉我的制作人布莱恩·里德和我,他们长途跋涉了 7.5 英里进入丛林。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator It was desolation.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 这是荒凉。
Overgrown weeds, trees, and bushes would cover us.
杂草丛生、树木和灌木丛会覆盖我们。
We couldn't see each other.
我们看不见对方。
And because we couldn't see each other, just by whistling or yelling we would call on each other.
因为我们看不见对方,所以我们只能通过吹口哨或大喊大叫来互相呼唤。
Do you remember the moment that you saw the well?

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator I remember it.

Finally, they hit four meters.
最后,他们达到了四米。
A warning that the next minute or so gets very graphic and probably isn't suitable if you're listening with small children.
警告,接下来的一分钟左右会变得非常生动,如果你和小孩子一起听,可能不适合。
We were able to see the shirt of a small boy, the bones inside.
我们能够看到一个小男孩的衬衫,里面有骨头。
And that made us think that all the inhabitants of Dos Erres were there.
这让我们认为多斯埃雷斯的所有居民都在那里。
So they kept digging.
于是他们继续挖掘。
And they found more and more bones, more and more bodies, more and more clothing.
他们发现了越来越多的骨头、越来越多的尸体、越来越多的衣服。
They dug up shirts, shoes, hair pins, heart-shaped earrings, boots with silver spurs.
他们挖出了衬衫、鞋子、发夹、心形耳环、银马刺靴子。
In a video they shot at the time, one of the anthropologists stands at the bottom of the well.
在他们当时拍摄的一段视频中,一名人类学家站在井底。
It's about 40 feet deep.
大约有 40 英尺深。
She looks exhausted.
她看上去很疲惫。
There's a tiny skeleton at her feet.
她的脚下有一个小骷髅。
[SPEAKING SPANISH].
[说西班牙语]。
Habiba Nosheen Just to think that they were thrown from that height into the well, she says, it's hard to even imagine it.
Habiba Nosheen 她说,光是想到他们是从那么高的地方被扔进井里的,就很难想象。
It's hard to convince herself of these things.
很难让自己相信这些事情。
At the end of it all, they found at least 162 bodies plus lots of incomplete remains.
最终,他们发现了至少 162 具尸体以及许多不完整的遗骸。
67 of the bodies were victims under 12 years old.
其中67具尸体是12岁以下的受害者。
Their average age was seven.

Aura and her team wanted to identify these bodies.

So they took the remains to the center of the nearest town.
于是他们把遗骸带到了最近的城镇中心。
They put them together as best they could into skeletons and laid them out.
他们尽最大努力将它们组合成骨架并放置起来。
Alongside, they placed the clothing they found in the well next to the body they thought each piece belonged to.
与此同时,他们把在井里找到的衣服放在他们认为每件衣服所属的尸体旁边。
Then, they put out an invitation for the community to come and look.
然后,他们邀请社区前来参观。
There is video of this, all the bones and clothing spread out on a concrete floor.
有视频显示,所有的骨头和衣服都散落在水泥地板上。
People filed by, taking it all in.
人们鱼贯而过,将这一切尽收眼底。
Some of them recognized clothing worn by their relatives and friends from Dos Erres.
他们中的一些人认出了来自多斯埃雷斯的亲友所穿的衣服。
[SPEAKING SPANISH]: Habiba Nosheen But only 10 people came forward to specifically identify relatives.
[西班牙语]:Habiba Nosheen 但只有 10 人站出来具体指认亲属。
Most were still afraid to admit they knew anyone who had disappeared from Dos Erres.
大多数人仍然不敢承认他们认识任何从多斯埃雷斯失踪的人。
People still remembered how, in 1982 right after the village vanished, family members went to the army commander in the nearest town and asked what happened.
人们还记得,1982年,村庄消失后,家人就去找最近城镇的军队指挥官,询问发生了什么事。
This commander, Lieutenant Carlos Antonio Carias, said the guerrillas were responsible.
该指挥官卡洛斯·安东尼奥·卡里亚斯中尉表示,游击队应对此负责。
The guerrillas had killed or taken everyone.
游击队杀死或带走了所有人。
But he also told family members that if they talked about the incident, even asked about it, they would die-- which just reinforced people's suspicions that the Army was probably behind it.
但他还告诉家人,如果他们谈论这起事件,甚至询问这件事,他们就会死——这只会加剧人们对军队可能是幕后黑手的怀疑。
So Aura put herself out there even more to try to get people to talk.
因此,奥拉更加努力地试图让人们开口说话。
She appeared on local media in the province they were in, Peten.
她出现在他们所在的佩滕省的当地媒体上。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator Each time that we visited in Peten, we took advantage of that moment to speak on the radio, to speak on the TV, to ask people that whoever knew something about Dos Erres to come forward.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 每次我们访问佩滕时,我们都会利用这一时刻在广播、电视上发言,请那些了解多斯·埃雷斯的人挺身而出。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator Because sometimes I think that I was too daring.
[说西班牙语] 翻译因为有时我觉得我太大胆了。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator The life of Guatemalans doesn't cost a thing.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 危地马拉人的生命不值一文钱。
It's not worth a thing.

And just anything could have happened to us.

Aura was worried about how members of the military might react when they heard her announcements.

But she never expected the reaction she got from this guy.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator I heard this.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 我听到了这个。
And I looked at my little children playing.
我看着我的小孩子们玩耍。
And I decided I'd do this so the same thing would not happen to them, as happened to the children in the massacre at Dos Erres.
我决定这样做,这样同样的事情就不会发生在他们身上,就像发生在多斯埃雷斯大屠杀中的孩子们身上一样。
Favio Pinzon Jerez is a former sergeant in the military.

And after hearing Aura on the radio, he got on a bus and took the 12-hour ride to Guatemala City.

他走进联合国办公室,告诉他们他知道多斯埃雷斯发生的事情,因为他参与了其中。
He did something no one soldier had ever done in Guatemala-- he confessed.

[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator We went to his house.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 我们去了他家。
We knocked on the door.

他们告诉我你想和我说话。”他告诉我:“没错。
I wanted to talk to you because what I have right here, in my heart, I cannot stand it anymore.
我想和你谈谈,因为我已经无法忍受这里、我心里的一切了。
It's hurting me so much." That's how we talked for four hours.

He told me everything that had happened.
他告诉了我发生的一切。
The story Favio told Aura was deeply upsetting.
法维奥告诉奥拉的故事令人深感不安。
For nearly 15 years, he'd kept it a secret even from his wife.

We met them secretly at a hotel.

The story they told us is disturbing.
他们告诉我们的故事令人不安。
So again, if you have children with you, it's probably not appropriate for them.

When they reached Dos Erres at 2:00 in the morning, they found a quiet, peaceful village.

Though when the Kaibiles arrived, Cesar says, they expected something different.
塞萨尔说,尽管凯比勒夫妇到来时,他们的期望有所不同。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator Well, we were expecting that they were going to shoot at us because we thought that the people in Dos Erres were all communists.

And according to Favio and Cesar, this patrol of killers spared just two other people, both young boys with light skin and green eyes.
根据法维奥和塞萨尔的说法,这支杀手巡逻队只放过了另外两个人,他们都是浅色皮肤和绿色眼睛的小男孩。
Three months later, the second in command of the squad that wiped out Dos Erres, Lieutenant Oscar Ramirez Ramos, showed up at his mother's house with a three-year-old boy and a fake birth certificate.

In 1996, the Dos Erres case landed on the desk of Sara Romero, the assistant prosecutor who contacted Oscar.

她几乎没有得到自己部门的支持。

It was just Sara and one other colleague working it on their own.
只有萨拉和另一位同事独自工作。
They had almost nothing to go on.

They couldn't even prove the military was behind the massacre, never mind which unit of the military or which members in the unit.
他们甚至无法证明军方是屠杀的幕后黑手,更不用说是哪个部队或部队中的哪些成员了。
So when Favio and Cesar came forward, it was an unprecedented break.
所以当法维奥和塞萨尔站出来时,这是前所未有的突破。
Sara's office had to create a witness protection program specifically for the two of them, because before that they hadn't had any witnesses to protect.
萨拉的办公室必须专门为他们两个制定一个证人保护计划,因为在此之前他们没有任何证人需要保护。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator The next step was to confirm all the pieces of information that the Kaibil witnesses had given.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 下一步是确认 Kaibil 目击者提供的所有信息。
Remember, Sara was trying to do something that had never been done before in Guatemala.
请记住,萨拉正在尝试做一些危地马拉以前从未做过的事情。
There hadn't been a single trial against members of the military for crimes they had committed during the war.
没有对军人在战争期间犯下的罪行进行过任何审判。
So she knew if she was going to build a case that would win, she needed more evidence.

She didn't have names for most of the victims.
她不知道大多数受害者的名字。
So she poked around until she found a teacher who lived near Dos Erres who had taught some of the children from the village back in the '80s.
于是她四处寻找,直到找到一位住在多斯埃雷斯附近的老师,他曾在 80 年代教过村里的一些孩子。
Sara asked her to remember, as best she could, the names of her former students.
萨拉要求她尽可能记住以前学生的名字。
Sara used those names to track down relatives.
萨拉用这些名字来寻找亲戚。
Because of Favio and Cesar, Sara did have the names of the other Kaibiles who had been at the massacre.
由于法维奥和塞萨尔,萨拉确实知道了参与大屠杀的其他凯比勒人的名字。
So she started tracking them down, too, which meant walking up to their doorsteps and confronting them face to face, including a Kaibil who took one of the green-eyed boys who was spared that day.
所以她也开始追踪他们,这意味着走到他们家门口,面对面与他们对峙,其中包括一个凯比尔,他带走了那天幸免于难的一个绿眼睛男孩。
The Kaibil's name was Santos Lopez Alonzo.
凯比尔的名字叫桑托斯·洛佩斯·阿隆佐。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator I had never faced a Kaibil before.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 我以前从未遇到过 Kaibil。
And because of the description that I had of the Kaibiles, I thought that he was going to be armed, and that if he knew that I knew something about Dos Erres he was going to shoot at me.
由于我对凯比勒人的描述,我认为他会携带武器,如果他知道我了解多斯·埃雷斯,他就会向我开枪。
Or perhaps he was going to capture us and torture us.
或者他可能会抓住我们并折磨我们。
Your colleague?
你的同事?
Sara Romero [SPEAKING SPANISH]
萨拉·罗梅罗 [西班牙语]
No, he wasn't either.
不,他也不是。
None of us was armed.
我们没有人携带武器。
Sara and her partner had to leave their car on the road and walk through the woods to Lopez Alonzo's house.
萨拉和她的伴侣不得不把车停在路上,步行穿过树林来到洛佩兹·阿隆佐的家。
They told their driver to call the police if they didn't come back.
他们告诉司机,如果他们不回来就报警。
They approached the house.
他们走近房子。
And there was Lopez Alonzo, lying in a hammock.
洛佩兹·阿朗佐躺在吊床上。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator When I saw him, I wasn't fearful at all.
[说西班牙语] 翻译 当我看到他时,我一点也不害怕。
Because he looked like a campesino, like a peasant.
因为他看起来像个农民,像个农民。
He was just a simple person, a person without education and not as ferocious as I imagined him to be.
他只是一个简单的人,一个没有受过教育的人,并不像我想象的那么凶猛。
Lopez Alonzo was polite and invited them in.
洛佩兹·阿隆索很有礼貌地邀请他们进来。
At first, he wouldn't talk about Dos Erres.
起初,他不愿谈论多斯·埃雷斯。
Then, Sara told him that two soldiers from his squad had already come forward.
然后,萨拉告诉他,他的小队的两名士兵已经走上前来。
And he started telling the truth.
他开始说实话。
"My oldest son, Ramiro, has a sad story," he told them.
“我的大儿子拉米罗有一个悲伤的故事,”他告诉他们。
And he confessed to taking him from Dos Erres.
他承认将他从多斯埃雷斯手中带走。
When Sara tracked Ramiro down, he was serving in the military that had killed his family.
当萨拉找到拉米罗时,他正在军队服役,正是这支军队杀害了他的家人。
The fact that he existed and that he was saved by one of the Kaibiles, and raised by one of the Kaibiles, made it nearly impossible for the Kaibiles to deny their involvement in the massacre.
他的存在,以及他被一位凯比勒人所救,并由一位凯比勒人抚养长大的事实,使得凯比勒人几乎不可能否认他们参与了大屠杀。
At the same time, Sara started to look for the other boy who Favio and Cesar told her was spared.
与此同时,萨拉开始寻找法维奥和塞萨尔告诉她幸免于难的另一个男孩。
But it wasn't as easy.
但这并不那么容易。
The soldier who allegedly took him was dead.
据称带走他的士兵已经死亡。
That soldier's mother who supposedly raised the boy was also dead.
据说抚养这个男孩的那个士兵的母亲也死了。
The soldier's brother refused to talk.
士兵的兄弟拒绝说话。
His sister was also reluctant, but told Sara that in 1983, he did indeed come home with a three-year-old boy.
他的妹妹也很不情愿,但告诉萨拉,1983年,他确实带着一个三岁的男孩回家。
The boy was chubby with broken teeth.
这个男孩胖乎乎的,牙齿断了。
His name was Oscar.
他的名字叫奥斯卡。
After his grandma died, he'd moved to the US illegally.
他的祖母去世后,他非法移居美国。
She told Sara she had no way to reach him.
她告诉萨拉她无法联系到他。
So Sara stopped looking for 10 years.
于是莎拉就停止寻找了10年。
Coming up, and the Oscar goes to-- where did he go to?
奥斯卡奖即将到来,他去哪儿了?
That's in a minute from Chicago Public Radio and Public Radio International when our program continues.
一分钟后,芝加哥公共广播电台和国际公共广播电台将继续我们的节目。
It's This American Life .
这就是美国生活。
I'm Ira Glass.
我是艾拉·格拉斯。
If you're just tuning in, we're devoting our entire program today to a massacre of a village in Guatemala called Dos Erres in 1982, and the attempt to bring the killers to justice, which took years.
如果您刚刚收看,我们今天的整个节目将重点讲述 1982 年危地马拉一个名为 Dos Erres 的村庄发生的大屠杀,以及花了数年时间将凶手绳之以法的努力。
One of the ways that we know about what happened at Dos Erres is from secret cables that have been declassified that were sent back and forth between the United States embassy in Guatemala and Washington, D.C.
我们了解多斯埃雷斯事件的途径之一是来自美国驻危地马拉大使馆和华盛顿特区之间来回发送的已解密的秘密电报。
These cables show that back in 1981 and '82, embassy officials heard lots of reports about the Army massacring whole villages throughout Guatemala, which they dismissed until finally, in 1982, at the urging of the State Department back in Washington they got in a helicopter to see for themselves if the stories were true.
这些电报显示,早在 1981 年和 82 年,大使馆官员就听到了大量有关军队屠杀危地马拉各地整个村庄的报道,但他们最终驳回了这些报道,直到 1982 年,在华盛顿国务院的敦促下,他们乘坐直升机亲眼看看这些报道是否属实。
And this is just a coincidence-- the site that they happened to investigate was Dos Erres.
而这只是一个巧合——他们调查的地点恰好是Dos Erres。
They flew their helicopter low over the village.
他们的直升机低空飞过村庄上空。
They saw the burned-out houses.
他们看到了被烧毁的房屋。
They looked for but found no survivors.
他们寻找但没有发现幸存者。
They landed in a nearby town where the mayor told them that the disappearance of every man, woman, and child from Dos Erres was simply a mystery.
他们降落在附近的一个小镇,镇长告诉他们,多斯埃雷斯的每个男人、女人和孩子的失踪简直就是一个谜。
The United States concluded that the Guatemalan Army was responsible.
美国的结论是危地马拉军队应对此负责。
But they kept this a secret, didn't discuss it publicly.
但他们对此保密,没有公开讨论。
And for years afterwards, the killings continued.
此后多年,杀戮仍在继续。
And the US knew about it but stood by.
美国知道这一点,但袖手旁观。
Before the break, you heard about how Sara Romero started her investigation, how she found one of the two boys who'd been taken from the village but couldn't find Oscar.
在休息之前,您听说了萨拉·罗梅罗如何开始调查,她如何找到被从村里带走但找不到奥斯卡的两个男孩之一。
She had enough evidence to start trying the case, though, and got arrest warrants for 17 members of the Army squad that was at Dos Erres.
不过,她有足够的证据开始审理此案,并获得了对多斯埃雷斯陆军小队 17 名成员的逮捕令。
And then, nothing happened for nearly 10 years.
然后,近10年什么也没发生。
The soldiers filed motions and appeals and stalled the case before it ever got started in the Guatemalan court system.
士兵们提出了动议和上诉,并在危地马拉法院系统开始审理此案之前就搁置了此案。
Finally, the Interamerican Court of Human Rights looked at what was going on and declared that these appeals were paralyzing justice and ordered Guatemala to bring the soldiers to trial.
最后,美洲人权法院调查了到底发生了什么,并宣布这些上诉使司法瘫痪,并命令危地马拉对这些士兵进行审判。
And that is where our story picks up, with Sara Romero still working on the case 13 years after she started it.
我们的故事就是从这里开始的,萨拉·罗梅罗在立案 13 年后仍在处理此案。
Habiba Nosheen takes it from here.
哈比巴·诺辛 (Habiba Nosheen) 从这里开始。
Finally the case was moving forward, and the judge ordered the investigators to do a bunch of things including find Oscar, the green-eyed boy who had been abducted from Dos Erres who they still hadn't located.
案件终于有了进展,法官命令调查人员做一系列事情,包括找到奥斯卡,那个从多斯埃雷斯被绑架的绿眼睛男孩,但他们仍然没有找到。
So Sara got back to work.
于是萨拉又回去工作了。
She traveled back up to Oscar's hometown where she'd gone looking for him 10 years before.
她回到了奥斯卡的家乡,十年前她曾在那里寻找过他。
Back then, Oscar's uncle had stonewalled her.
那时,奥斯卡的叔叔一直阻止她。
He refused to tell her anything about his nephew.
他拒绝告诉她任何有关他侄子的事情。
This time, Sara squeezed a bit more out of him.
这一次,莎拉从他身上榨取了更多一些。
He gave her two pieces of information-- that Oscar's girlfriend was from a nearby town and that her nickname was La Flaca, the skinny one.
他给了她两条信息——奥斯卡的女朋友来自附近的一个小镇,她的昵称是拉弗拉卡,瘦的。
Sara went to the town, asked around about La Flaca, located her parents.
萨拉去了镇上,四处打听拉弗拉卡的情况,找到了她的父母。
And that's how she tracked down La Flaca and Oscar in Massachusetts and convinced Oscar to take a DNA test to see if he was actually a survivor from Dos Erres.
就这样,她在马萨诸塞州找到了拉弗拉卡和奥斯卡,并说服奥斯卡进行 DNA 测试,看看他是否真的是多斯埃雷斯的幸存者。
Fredy Peccerelli, the forensic scientist who was working the case, was excited at the prospect.
负责此案的法医科学家弗雷迪·佩切雷利 (Fredy Peccerelli) 对这一前景感到兴奋。
Usually, he's dealing with dead bodies, people who've been assassinated or massacred.
通常,他处理的是尸体,那些被暗杀或屠杀的人。
To actually be able to talk to one of the people that we're looking for is a privilege that I've never felt before.
能够真正与我们正在寻找的人交谈是一种我以前从未感受过的荣幸。
In June, 2011, Fredy took a swab of Oscar's saliva, his DNA, back to Guatemala and ran a series of tests.
2011年6月,弗雷迪采集了奥斯卡的唾液样本,即他的DNA,带回危地马拉并进行了一系列测试。
One was against Ramiro, the other green-eyed boy who was taken from the massacre to see if Ramiro was Oscar's brother.
其中一个是针对拉米罗,另一个绿眼睛的男孩,他从大屠杀中被带走,看看拉米罗是否是奥斯卡的兄弟。
They also tested Oscar's DNA against the DNA of other people who were related to the victims of Dos Erres.
他们还将奥斯卡的 DNA 与其他与多斯埃雷斯受害者有亲属关系的人的 DNA 进行了测试。
On a Sunday night in August, Fredy called Oscar with the results.
八月的一个周日晚上,弗雷迪打电话给奥斯卡告知结果。
I said, you know, remember that test we did?
我说,你知道吗,还记得我们做过的那个测试吗?
So at that point, I was a little bit nervous.
所以当时我有点紧张。
You never know.
你永远不知道。
And I told him that I had the news.
我告诉他我有这个消息。
The news is that Ramiro is not your brother.
消息是拉米罗不是你的兄弟。
He told me that we weren't brothers.
他告诉我我们不是兄弟。
I said, "I knew it!
我说:“我就知道了!

He wasn't treated the way other children who were stolen from massacres were often treated.

He may have stolen Oscar, but he also saved him.

Some 200 people were killed at Dos Erres-- infants, the elderly, all of Oscar's siblings, his pregnant mother.

他听到他告诉另一名中尉:“这是一支攻击部队,而不是一支强奸部队。”我们问他们是否见过拉米雷斯·拉莫斯杀人。
Cesar said, "No, the lieutenant spent much of the massacre overseeing the operation from a tree trunk with the other commanders." But Favio said yes, he definitely saw Ramirez Ramos kill people at the well.
塞萨尔说:“不,大屠杀的大部分时间里,中尉都在树干上与其他指挥官一起监督行动。”但法维奥说是的,他确实看到拉米雷斯·拉莫斯在井边杀人。
He said the lieutenant was actually showing soldiers how to use the sledgehammer to murder people.
他说,中尉实际上是在向士兵展示如何使用大锤杀人。
"It's easy to give a blow to the head," Favio heard Ramirez Ramos say as he was demonstrating.

Favio says this happened while Cesar was away guarding the perimeter, so Cesar didn't see it.

We talked to a third person who knew Ramirez Ramos, a soldier who went to school with him and was stationed at a base with him before he became a Kaibil.
我们采访了第三位认识拉米雷斯·拉莫斯的人,拉米雷斯·拉莫斯是一名士兵,曾与他一起上学,并在他成为凯比尔人之前与他一起驻扎在一个基地。

这名士兵说,拉米雷斯·拉莫斯以嗜血闻名,他会打扮成平民,出去进行秘密行动,抓捕人员并拷打他们以获取情报。

And that's basically what we've learned from the three people we talked to.

Obviously if you're in the army, at some point you ended up doing bad things, even if you don't want to.

But killing, the killing, that's bad.

In the summer of 2011, 16 years after Aura first found the bones in the well, a judge finally handed down a verdict in the case.
2011年夏天,距离奥拉首次在井中发现骨头16年后,法官终于对此案做出了判决。
Three Kaibiles and Lieutenant Carias, the local military commander who had threatened victims' families, were found guilty of murder during the Dos Erres massacre.
三名凯比莱斯和威胁受害者家属的当地军事指挥官卡里亚斯中尉在多斯埃雷斯大屠杀期间被判犯有谋杀罪。
The judge sentenced them to 6,060 years in prison-- 30 years for each confirmed victim, plus another 30 for crimes against humanity.
法官判处他们 6,060 年监禁,其中每名已确认的受害者 30 年监禁,另加反人类罪 30 年监禁。
This was unprecedented.
这是前所未有的。
It was the first time any member of the military was put away for a massacre they had committed during the war.
这是第一次有军人因战争期间犯下的屠杀罪而被关押。
Two months ago, Sara Romero's prosecution team did it again.
两个月前,萨拉·罗梅罗的检方团队再次这么做。
One of the soldiers who was at Dos Erres was found living in California.
多斯埃雷斯的一名士兵被发现居住在加利福尼亚州。
He was sent back to Guatemala and also sentenced to 6,060 years.
他被送回危地马拉并被判处 6,060 年徒刑。
And even more incredible, just this week, the man who was the president of Guatemala during the massacre, Efrain Rios Montt, was indicted for genocide at Dos Erres.
更令人难以置信的是,就在本周,大屠杀期间担任危地马拉总统的埃夫拉因·里奥斯·蒙特(Efrain Rios Montt)被指控犯有多斯埃雷斯种族灭绝罪。
Now, there are half a dozen cases like Dos Erres moving forward in Guatemala.
现在,危地马拉还有六起像多斯·埃雷斯这样的案件正在进展中。
The climate in the country is changing.
该国的气候正在发生变化。
And some people worry about this new direction.
有些人对这个新方向感到担忧。
First among them, this man.
其中第一个,就是这个男人。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Habiba Nosheen The president of Guatemala, Otto Perez Molina.

He took office five months ago.
他五个月前上任。
During the war, he did counter-insurgency.

At one point, he was director of military intelligence.
他曾一度担任军事情报总监。

When Perez Molina was elected, there was concern that he might put an end to the Dos Erres case and investigations like it.

他面临着很大的国际压力,要求他这样做。
It's a precondition for the US to resume military aid.

But at the same time, he says publicly that seeking justice for crimes of the past is not the best way for Guatemala to move on.
但与此同时,他公开表示,为过去的罪行寻求正义并不是危地马拉继续前进的最佳方式。
He told us that 16 years ago the Guatemalan Congress granted amnesty to most people who committed crimes during the war, so the war wouldn't continue in courts.
他告诉我们,16年前,危地马拉国会赦免了大多数在战争中犯罪的人,这样战争就不会在法庭上继续下去。
He says trying these cases is counterproductive to reconciliation.
他说,审理这些案件对于和解会适得其反。
It just stirs bad blood.
它只会激起仇恨。
[SPEAKING SPANISH] Translator Emblematic cases like Dos Erres should be known.
[说西班牙语] 译者 像 Dos Erres 这样的标志性案例应该是众所周知的。
But it's not the path or the route that Guatemala should follow.

We Guatemalans should be able, on both sides, for the benefit, for the sake of the future generations, to find forgiveness and to look forward without stumbling upon the past at every moment.
我们危地马拉人应该能够,为了双方的利益,为了子孙后代,寻求宽恕并展望未来,而不是每时每刻都绊倒过去。
People involved in these cases are amazed at the changes now happening in Guatemala.
参与这些案件的人们对危地马拉现在发生的变化感到惊讶。
And if you look back at Dos Erres, the Kaibiles made a few mistakes that allowed that case to be the first one of its kind-- mistakes that came back to haunt them 30 years later.
如果你回顾 Dos Erres,就会发现 Kaibiles 犯了一些错误,使得该案成为同类案件中的第一起,而这些错误在 30 年后又再次困扰着他们。
They let an 11-year-old escape, Salome, who testified against them.
他们让一名 11 岁的莎乐美逃脱,她出庭作证指控他们。
They abducted two boys, who later became living evidence linking specific soldiers in that unit back to Dos Erres.
他们绑架了两名男孩,这两名男孩后来成为将该部队中的特定士兵与多斯·埃雷斯联系起来的活生生的证据。
And probably the biggest mistake, they brought along a weak link, a guy who hadn't gone through all the intense Kaibil training, a cook who had flunked out and who, years later, couldn't stand the guilt and cracked.
也许最大的错误是,他们带来了一个薄弱环节,一个没有接受过所有严格的 Kaibil 培训的人,一个不及格的厨师,多年后,他无法忍受内疚并崩溃了。
Without Favio, there would be no case.
没有法维奥,就不会有这个案子。
