"Remembering to Never Forget: Dominican Republic's 'Parsley Massacre’” by Mark Memmott:

Seventy-five years ago, a large number of Haitians were killed in the Dominican Republic by a tyrannical dictator. It remains one of the least-acknowledged genocides of the 20th Century.

Estimates suggest that up to 20,000 individuals were slain on orders from Rafael Trujillo. However, the "parsley massacre" received minimal attention beyond Hispaniola. Even within the country, numerous Dominicans were unaware of the events that transpired in early October 1937, thanks to Trujillo's enforcers keeping them uninformed.

"A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez:

During my early teenage years in America, I had little awareness of the reality in the Dominican Republic. Whenever discussions about the situation on the island arose, my parents spoke in whispers. In December 1960, a few months after we arrived, Time magazine reported on the assassination of the three Mirabal sisters, who, together with their spouses, initiated the national underground in the Dominican Republic. My parents seized the magazine. To our numerous questions about the situation, my mother always responded with the phrase, "En boca cerrada no entran moscas." No flies can enter a closed mouth. Later, I learned that this very saying was inscribed above the entrance of the SIM's torture facility at La Cuarenta.
