| Sumario: | The present article aims to analyze an aspect of the participation of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) in World War II: the transmission of narratives in the face of the traumatic nature of these experiences. The main hypothesis of the analysis is that the narratives of FEB veterans about their experiences in World War II are marked by a profound unease and a desire to forget, reflecting the complexity of both collective and individual memory in relation to traumatic experiences. Although these narratives often include elements of heroism and patriotism, they also reveal a tension between the need for remembrance and the difficulty of expressing and communicating the pain and trauma of war. |
