"Who is Responsible for the Destruction of Ganden Monastery?" By Woeser

High Peaks Pure Earth has translated a blogpost by Woeser written on June 17, 2011 for the Tibetan service of Radio Free Asia and posted on her blog on June 26, 2011.

In this blogpost, Woeser writes about the destruction of Ganden Monastery. The photos taken by her Father that Woeser refers to were compiled into an impressive book published in Taiwan by Locus Publishing in 2006 as "Forbidden Memory: Tibet During the Cultural Revolution". Although there is no English translation of the publication, it has been published in Japanese and Tibetan.
