Forgive - Do not Forget
Fort-Dimanche: Dungeon of Death

The best way to forgive is to be informed.
Have you ever read first hand information about the infamous
"Fort-Dimanche" ?

Read about this sad part of Haitian History from Mr. Patrick Lemoine  who
was incarcerated at Fort-Dimanche, a well known torture camp used under
the Duvalier regime

Patrick Lemoine’s memoirs capture the triumph of life over death; the
power of the human spirit to foster determination, strength, and hope in
the absence of justice or a judicial system; and the resolve to emerge
from death even when death is the sole meaning given to life.

WHAT IS SAID ABOUT THE BOOK

Jonathan Demme, Filmaker and Producer, USA
"Fort-Dimanche, Dungeon of Death is a vivid memory of the most horrendous
kind of mental and physical cruelties that we can inflict on our fellow
man. Patrick Lemoine's harrowing tale about his years of imprisonment in
one of the worst dungeons in the world will stand as a constant reminder
that our basic freedoms, when taken for granted, can be trampled by the
very ones elected or selected among us to be sentinels of society".

Le Nouvelliste, PAP, Haiti - Jean Desquiron
"This book is an implacable referendum against dictator ship. Its sole
ideology is to proclaim freedom of though and expression. This book must
be read by anyone who wants to know, especial ly by the young who should
know, because it is difficult for them to imagine the unthinkable".

Haiti-Observateur, New York, USA
"Written in a soft literary style, yet concise, detailed and captiva ting
[…], this book remains the most acerbic discourse on the vicious cruelty
of a political mass mired in cynicism".

Yves-Robert Dougé, M.D., Pour Haiti, Paris, France
It is a disturbing testimonial on the physical and moral degrada tion of
human beings orchestrated by the militia of a totalitarian regime. Patrick
Lemoine’s surgical surgical descrip tion of a long descent into Duvalier’s
dungeons leaves us com pletely numb. Other books have been written on the
subject, but none offers such a detailed account of this historically
useful legacy.

Elsie Ethéart, Haiti en Marche, Miami, USA
It is necessary to read this book in its entirety, even when you are
tempted to hide it, to bury it, as if it would prevent forever such
horrible acts from occurring again…
