It's been 51 years since an abortive coup in 1965 which Indonesia's military blamed on the country's powerful Communist Party.
The coup brought to a head a long-simmering rivalry and ignited a months-long bloodbath that historians estimate killed half a million people.
The Pancasila Sakti museum on the outskirts of the capital Jakarta shows how six generals and an adjutant were killed in the coup and their bodies thrown into a well.
But as the military's version of history, it doesn't address the killings that were orchestrated by the military and often carried out by militias and Islamic groups.
Half a century later, those who survived and the descendants of Communist Party members, have many unanswered questions.
One of the most pressing is where their friends and relatives were buried.
One of the mass graves is believed to be located in lush forest at Plumbon village in Central Java.
Villagers say the bodies are buried there.
Eight names were listed on a monument erected in 2015 - Moetiah, Soesatjo, Darsono, Sachroni, Joesoef, Soekandar, Doelkhamid and Soerono.
And it adds the site may contain as many as 24 bodies.
Erected after activists persuaded villagers, religious leaders and local officials, it is a rare acknowledgement of the victims of Indonesia's anti-communist massacres and an even rarer act of compromise.
Supar, who was 17-years-old in 1965, is one of the few living witnesses to events in Plumbon.
Now toothless and aged beyond his 68 years, he said naive curiosity got him entangled in the massacre of 12 people accused of being communists.
Supar, who goes by one name, said he has stayed away from Plumbon ever since the massacre.
It was dark, after 11 pm, Supar said, and raining heavily when the military jeep and a truck transporting the alleged members of the Partai Komunis Indonesia, or PKI, arrived at the site near Plumbon - two holes had been dug.
The executions usually happened after midnight but because of the rain, the two soldiers didn't wait.
"They were told to sit down on the ground side by side. They prayed or recited whatever verse they knew from the Quran," he said.
"After the execution I was told to shine the torch.
I couldn't look so I turned my face away but the soldier yelled at me: don't look away. Those still moving, the soldiers shot them again and again."
In the decades of the Suharto "New Order" era that followed, the events of 1965-66 were depicted as a heroic uprising against communism.
The scale and ferocity of the killings by the military, militias and Islamic groups was expunged from the national consciousness.
