Abstract
The objective of this article is to analyze the questions that emerge in students when they are affected by memory and human rights documents created during the Chilean dictatorship. This is an exploratory qualitative research, which uses grounded theory to analyze 152 answers developed by students from two high school classes in a private school in Santiago, Chile. The results show that the affective experience lived by the students made possible the formulation of diverse, complex, significant questions for the young people and challenging for the curriculum, the school context and the teachers, since they require humanizing the past, addressing invisible groups (victims, perpetrators and ordinary people), developing ethical judgments on the decisions, actions or inactions of historical subjects and reflecting historically on the advice and demands that the people of the past impose on the present.
