These pages do not seek to sensationalize tragedy but to illuminate it, to ensure that memory, history, and learning persist beyond the immediate shock of crime. In their stories, we find both warning and guidance, grief and resolve, fear and the determination to create a society where lives are valued and protected. May the accounts contained within these chapters serve not only as records of the past but as beacons for the present and future, reminding us that while evil exists, human courage, diligence, and morality remain our strongest countermeasures.
In remembering, reflecting, and learning, we keep the victims' voices alive, and we commit ourselves to a deeper understanding of the fragility, complexity, and preciousness of life.
