Abstract
The veil, as a metaphysical phenomenon that makes direct comprehension of pure human consciousness impossible, is a common metaphor associated with Locke’s philosophy and his famous essay. Complete and pure understanding is obviously not possible - especially in the case of the most serious crimes committed by humanity, such as the crime of genocide and all its consequences and circumstances, within the framework of genocidal processes. Neither in specific cases nor in general. However, the veil has a peculiar characteristic: the wind can lift it. Future researchers must find a way to lift the „veil of oblivion” - and to record the truth that becomes apparent there. Until then, however, the human horror that leaves social wounds open forever: the genocides, the evaluative, interpretive, and preventive methods of further horrors must take this inhibiting factor into account.
