A history of institutional amnesiaBy Liu Che-ting 劉哲廷The Ministry of Education recently launched an online learning resource on transitional justice. However, the challenge that transitional justice faces is not that of a missing history class on the 228 Incident.

Without this as a bare minimum, democracy is lost to institutional amnesia.
