In my home country, Indonesia, many of us were not aware of the scale of the genocide of the left, or the massacres of civilians after World War II and the War of Independence. Most people pretend that it never happened and avoid discussing it. Only recently have people started talking about it, but they often face backlash.

Additionally, you will not find books on this topic in the local library.

I think it is normal for a community to choose selected amnesia.
