‘You have no right to forget your past, because the nation that forgets has no future. However, you should not remember it for revenge, but for peace.’ That was one of the strong messages given by Pope Francis last weekend in Sarajevo, sent to anyone willing to listen. We know how to listen, but are we willing to really hear such a message? Are we, Croatians, prepared to understand it, accept it and live accordingly? Revenge  is so deeply rooted in human beings that it seems quite natural to want to return the experienced injustice and evil. Moreover, often the one who lives by the Bible and turns the other cheek or forgives the wrongdoer is perceived as a notorious fool. Twenty years ago, after the homeland war, the first Croatian president gave amnesty to all who participated in the aggression and invited them to stay in Croatia. Now there is a proposal to seek the publication of the register of aggressors.
