El Salvador 2009: Oscar is an ex-guerrilla living in Segundo Montes and working in Perquín as a guide. We hitched and walked from Perquín through Arambala to get to El Mozote, where one of the civil war's many atrocities took place in 1981. Perhaps one of the worst—the vicious slaughter of more than 1000 men, women and children. Arambala was destroyed as well. <br>El Mozote is just a tiny hamlet, but people fled here from the surrounding areas because they'd been falsely led to believe they would be safer. <br>Rufina Amaya was one of the few survivors and most outspoken witness to the massacre, repeatedly called upon to describe her family's brutal murder. She died in March 2007 at the age of 64, and is now buried within the bars of the El Mozote memorial.
