The present work aims to rebuild the violent events that reshaped the life stories of people who experienced them. For doing so, micro-stories were used. These contributed to the development of a common past to be told to others. In this way, it could be a support for the community life. So, it was established that it was necessary to listen to the victims of the armed conflict in order to know their view of the events. In doing so, it was intended to establish a collective memory based on the specificities, whose purpose is to reach a common truth, which makes it possible to propose a future in peace.
