This thesis aims at the investigation of how the issue of conflicting memories about the participation of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (BEF) during World War II is configured today . To accomplish this goal, it was necessary to take into account not only the political players that act in this process – among others: State, Army, Veteran's Associations and society – as well as the fluctuations and appropriations of their memory. Traumatic memories of the veterans about this event arise through different ways of self-writing – with special emphasis on journals, letters and interviews – and lead to the notion of the duty of memory in the fight for reparation and recognition.
