History can be silent - conflicts affect hundreds of thousands of citizens, yet their stories remain often untold, their voices unheard. Dialogue of History is a long-term project aimed at giving people affected by the war a chance to tell their experience and share their feelings. Founded by the German Bergof Foundation and implemented by NGOs in Georgia and Abkhazia the project recorded hundreds of interviews with people who experienced the Abkhazia-Georgia conflict of 1992-1993. In a series of workshops in Georgia and Abkhazia other persons listened to those interviews and shared their opinion about recordings or told their own memories of war.
