I like the title with the double meaning Erase in English and Érase in Spanish, meaning "Once upon", or "There was".

yes, Marcel, I agree... as well as "the forgotten revolution"; if history is not remembered, it is bound to repeat itself.

Maybe the fact that they DO remember history, and remember it as it really happened, is why many in the hispanic countries would like to be rid of the "Che as Hero" myth.

This site could be an eye-opener for those of us who weren't there:

I certainly hope it's not true that Che Guevara is being forgotten. I don't think that's the case at all. One old, faded work of street art in a foreign city does not mean anything. His image is still widely seen and used everywhere.

Sadly, this kind-of blind ideolagy doesn't surprize me. Whenever a famous person is assasinated anywhere in the world, slews people automatically label him a saint, regardless of what kind of monster he may have been in reality.
Because of his boyish good looks & charm, people tended to overlook the fact that he was Fidel Castro's righthand henchman, & was responisble for the torture & murder of many Cubans,under orders from his good friend Castro.
Thank god the Allied plot to assasinate Hitler didn't work.

Yes Che's image 'is still widely seen and used everywhere', but that is the point of the photo. What he actually stood for, is no longer so apparent, precisely because his image is so ubiquitous. The revolution behind the photo is being forgotten as el Che becomes just another piece of graffiti to be scrubbed off the wall.
