The political witch hunt consequent from the brazilian military dictatorship (between 1964-1979) has obligated lots of militants to leave Brazil and look for exile in foreign countries. Especially after the Ato Institucional #5 hundreds of Brazilians had to leave their homes because they were in dangerous of being arrested, or physically tortured, or even worse: being wildly killed. After setting up a trip in a hurry, they would take their children - such young children at the moment - with them to overseas, changing their lives for good. This study intends to investigate who those children were, the filhos da causa and which memories they have about that eventful period of the Brazilian history. Based on Social Psychology theories and some other knowledge areas as well we tried to understand how those memories were built and how much intersubjective partaking was produced by a random of different individuals. A partially structured script was developed to interview eighteen people about their memories, from leaving the country in such a difficult moment to arrive in a different place and the setting in process, as well as coming back to Brazil and their opinions about the experience and about their relatives choices. Being supported by the rethorical analysis theories, we also tried to join people´s accounts together to look for convergencies and partaking in their speech. From the Social Memory, where Maurice Halbwachs is the greatest reference, we´ve tried to link some snippets to find out common gists, built from childhood memories about the exile.
