Fredy Peccerelli is the director of the Guatemalan Forensic Anthropology Foundation. FAFG carries out exhumations of Guatemala?s clandestine cemeteries from its civil war (1960-1996) and works to identify victims of massacre and return bodies to families and communities for proper reburial. Fredy will share about his life as a young political refugee in NYC in the 1980s, coming to know about his country?s armed conflict, the work of forensic anthropologists in documenting ?truth,? and his founding and work in FAFG.
