It means they are not entirely forgotten about.

She wanted to rescue people from oblivion and was therefore an artistic social worker.

On 14 June 2014, exactly ten years ago, I received her book “Nearly Invisible” from London, which she dedicated to me. Dear Moyra Peralta (1936-2024), thank you for your wonderful work. May you rest in peace.

Love & Peace
ACHIM

How we honour our dead. Enraging. Shameful.
