The tragedy that began on 24 march 1976 will be unforgettable for generations. She left an indelible testimony to the gale of hatred that produced it. Her reign lacerated the lives of Argentines both in the present and in the future. She was built during those seven years in which the criminal plan that the dictatorship of Videla and Martinez de Hoz who perpetuated them could give birth to was executed: the rubble of industrial Argentina, secret catacombs where the slaughter of kidnapped, raped, tortured compatriots took place; their goods, their children, their young, powerful lives were stolen. Muzzles on the living and on the dead.
The courage to illuminate these photos, then, to dwell on them, renews the oath before the hymn of the memory of the 20th century: Never again will we let the lords of death rule these lands.
