Andrea Szabó: I won't check if any of my ancestors' names are in the state security documents

The author has decided not to check if any of their ancestors are mentioned in the released state security documents, viewing this as a personal choice. They believe that while individuals are not obligated to uncover their family's past, society has the right to understand the political system that shaped their lives for decades. The author emphasizes that the right to historical truth does not impose a duty for personal confrontation. Since being invited to a committee assisting in the processing of these documents, they feel a heightened sense of responsibility.
