Survivor of 1965 Indonesian Genocide
Tasmi is a survivor of the 1965 Indonesian genocide, in which over 3 million communists, trade unionists, and other suspected left-wing sympathizers in Indonesia were murdered, and over 1 million more imprisoned in concentration camps.
56 years ago today, the anti-communist Indonesian military and its Western allies instigated a rumor about an alleged failed mutiny by Indonesian left-wing military officers, which led to a right-wing counter-revolution financially backed by capitalist West Germany, the CIA, MI6, and other foreign intelligence services. Amidst the cold war, they orchestrated a campaign of massacres and installed a brutal and corrupt Western-backed and financed dictatorship.
These anti-communist massacres destroyed the popular Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) that, at its height, became the largest communist party in the world outside of China and the Soviet Union, gathering 3.5 million members, and another 20 million in affiliated organizations.
Our full documentary, “Indonesia’s 1965 Genocide: Germany’s Unknown War Against Communism,” coming out soon.
