Memorial hall could be transitional justice hubBy Tsao Chin-jung 曹欽榮Taiwan finds itself in a period of transitional justice. The best place for implementing these ideas is the museum at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall. During the first name rectification campaign in 2007, almost 100 White Terror and 228 Incident victims and family members stepped into the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall for the first time in their lives to express their support for changing the name to National Taiwan Democracy Memorial Hall. Wu’s article brought up the complicated issue of whether the memorial hall should be kept. The Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, the National Human Rights Museum, the National 228 Memorial Museum and the Transitional Justice Commission should work together with private museums to gain an understanding of what most members of the public are thinking.
