All victims matter, every life is sacred, but in ETA’s history some murders have become etched into our skin, and Alberto and Ascen’s is one of them. We must therefore be clear about who their murderers were.” To close the ceremony, the Foundation’s Honorary President and Mayor of Sevi- lle, José Luis Sanz, said María San Gil’s career is “an example of integrity, courage and commitment to freedom, uncompro- misingly defending victims of terrorism’s dignity, the memory of those murdered and the democratic values of those who sustain our coexistence. Spain owes her its gratitude.” Finally, the Mayor’s address also men- tioned the example of Alberto and As- censión, whose lives embody values of harmony that remain alive in Seville and throughout the country: “We will never forget them.” T o keep remembrance alive and build a future based on respect and coexistence, the Alberto Ji- ménez-Becerril Foundation Against Te- rrorism and Violence and Loyola Uni- versity formalised an important strategic alliance. On 22 July, the Foundation’s President, Alberto Jiménez-Becerril, and Loyola University’s Rector, Fabio Gómez-Estern, signed a cooperation agreement to undertake joint educatio- nal activities raising awareness among students at this leading university. The central aim of this new framework is to promote democratic values, the unwavering defence of human rights and respect for diversity among new generations. Both institutions consi- der it a priority for university students to gain a deep understanding of our country’s recent history and embrace The Alberto Jiménez-Becerril Foundation and Loyola University join forces to bring THE MEMORY OF VICTIMS OF TERRORISM INTO CLASSROOMS
