On September 30th, 1965, people in Indonesia went to bed thinking that the following day would be like any other. However, that assumption was sadly wrong. In the early hours of October 1st — before the sun had even risen — members of the Gerakan 20 September (G30S) initiated a failed putsch for power that triggered a genocide. In a campaign of bloodletting that would shake Indonesia to its core, General Suharto attacked communists, feminists, and all believed to associate with them. Over a period of several months, his forces killed over one million people, displaced one million more, and tortured countless others.
