0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Aberfan is a word - which can end conversations...
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- ..but it can also make people - want to talk, to explain...
0:02:38 > 0:02:42- ..and to share memories - and feelings.
0:02:42 > 0:02:47- Seven letters which speak volumes.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51- Wales and the world - are this year remembering...
0:02:51 > 0:02:59- ..but inhabitants never forget - the loss, the bravery and sorrow.

0:03:24 > 0:03:29- Here at the National Library, we - have a duty to remember the tragedy.
0:03:29 > 0:03:35- One of the most striking things - here today is the list of names.
0:03:36 > 0:03:40- It's the family names - which really hit home.
0:03:40 > 0:03:46- When I did my research, I always - came across the number 144...
0:03:46 > 0:03:50- ..and the list which appeared - time and time again.
0:03:51 > 0:03:55- The actually number of names - really strikes you...
0:03:55 > 0:03:59- ..but when you list them - alphabetically...
0:04:00 > 0:04:03- ..you see how many siblings - were involved in the tragedy.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- It's hard to look at some - of the photos in the exhibition.
0:04:08 > 0:04:11- You can see the scale - of the disaster...
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- ..the huge pile of black matter - covering everything.
0:04:16 > 0:04:20- We see half a school - completely destroyed.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- It's very difficult to comprehend.
0:04:30 > 0:04:38- You have, to all intents and - purposes, two exhibitions.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41- Can you explain further.
0:04:41 > 0:04:47- The first exhibition, Black October, - looks at the disaster itself...
0:04:47 > 0:04:51- ..and the way the tragedy has been - remembered since then in Wales.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56- There is poetry, photographs, - artwork and film.
0:04:57 > 0:05:04- We also added an new art - installation.
0:05:04 > 0:05:09- Every piece of coal represents - one person who was killed.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19- Black October would make an - impression on any visitor...
0:05:19 > 0:05:24- ..but another exhibition, - The Days After, is just as powerful.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29- These photos are by a New Yorker, - Chuck Rapaport.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34- He heard about the tragedy - and came over about a week later.
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- He wanted to document...
0:05:38 > 0:05:42- ..the effect the tragedy - had on the Aberfan community.
0:05:42 > 0:05:48- Rapaport's photographs have almost - come to represent the tragedy...
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- ..in the decades since then.
0:05:52 > 0:05:56- Yes, they're famous because - of the quality of the photographs.
0:05:56 > 0:06:01- He also put more thought - into the photos...
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- ..than others who just - turned up briefly.
0:06:05 > 0:06:09- I have about a million photos - in the National Library archives...
0:06:09 > 0:06:13- ..but I find the Aberfan pictures - of Rapoport and Philip Townsend's...
0:06:13 > 0:06:17- ..very difficult to peruse.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21- You can see the effect - on the people.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24- It's an national effect.
0:06:24 > 0:06:29- Here in Wales, - we are sensitive people...
0:06:29 > 0:06:32- ..who find it difficult to - forget tragedies that happen to us.
0:06:33 > 0:06:37- If we don't remember, there's - a danger it could happen again.
0:06:37 > 0:06:41- It's important to remember - the people.
0:06:41 > 0:06:46- It's not that long ago and the - people of Aberfan still suffer.
0:06:46 > 0:06:52- We want to show - that we still remember them.

0:07:05 > 0:07:10- This must have been - a difficult task.
0:07:10 > 0:07:15- It's a very important subject - and had to be dealt with properly.
0:07:15 > 0:07:18- As a national archive...
0:07:19 > 0:07:24- ..we had to bring these powerful - exhibitions together here.
0:07:24 > 0:07:29- I'm happy that the library, - in this anniversary year...
0:07:29 > 0:07:33- ..is remembering those - who lost their lives in Aberfan.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- I would like to think that it's been - done with sensitivity...
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- ..towards the people who are - still suffering with this tragedy.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45- It's also important...
0:07:45 > 0:07:50- ..for the people of today to know - about Aberfan fifty years ago.
0:07:50 > 0:07:55- I happened to be travelling down on - holiday to my grandmother that day.
0:07:56 > 0:08:01- I saw all the commotion without - realizing what was happening.
