Como do- Ecente, me produce una gran satisfacción el excelente trabajo realizado por el maestro en el libro Identidad. Educar en la memoria. Su vocación y compromiso en la formación ciudadana de alumnos de escuelas públicas y privadas sobre la Verdad, la Justicia y la Memoria han dejado como legado estos escritos. Las Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo hemos acompañado a lo largo de los años su persistencia en trasmitir a los jóvenes alumnos la importancia de una historia que antes los textos escolares no mencionaban, pero que ya forman parte del plan de estudios. El profesor Claudio Altamirano acompa- ña esta política generando encuentros entre alumnados y Abuelas, entre estos jóvenes ávidos de conocer qué pasó en los momentos más tenebrosos de nuestra Argentina y nuestros nietos restituidos. Esos encuentros son ex- periencias que se graban en mentes y corazones de esos estudiantes, que entienden que lo que nos ocurrió a todos los argentinos fue la peor historia y que no debemos volver a sufrirla nunca más. En este libro se registran esas expresiones, nuestras voces y la de nuestros nietos, y así se reconstruyen nuestras 11 historias. Están los momentos alegres, cotidianos, simples; están también los dolorosos, inciertos, injustos. Pero lo inte- resante y más hermoso es que todo lo expresado pasa por el tamiz de una hermosa juventud estudiantil que lo pregona y lo envuelve en enorme ternura, amor y cuidado. Y no queremos olvidarnos de agradecer a todas las co- munidades educativas que han demostrado que la escuela pública es el mejor lugar para que la memoria se haga, se afiance y crezca. Estamos convencidas de que los lectores reconocerán en estas páginas el valor y la relevancia de la tarea que este maestro lleva adelante y compartirán el orgullo que nosotros sentimos de formar parte de este proyecto. 12 Prólogo Carmen Nebreda Docente, miembro de la Unión de Educadores de la Provincia de Córdoba

  • A History of Political Murder in Latin America Clear of Conflict, Children Anywhere, and the Elderly—All These Have Been Its Victims
    Chapter 1 Targets and Victims His dance of death was famous. In 1463, Bernt Notke painted a life-sized, thirty-meter-long “Totentanz” that snaked around the chapel walls of the Marienkirche in Lübeck, the picturesque port town outside Hamburg in northern Germany. Individuals covering the entire medieval social spec- trum were represented, ranging from the Pope, the Emperor and Empress, and a King, followed by (among others) a duke, an abbot, a nobleman, a merchant, a maiden, a peasant, and even an infant. All danced reluctantly with grinning images of the reaper in his inexorable procession. Today only photos remain. Allied bombers destroyed the church during World War II. If Notke were somehow transported to Latin America five hundred years later to produce a new version, he would find no less diverse a group to portray: a popular politician, Jorge Eliécer Gaitán, shot down on a main thoroughfare in Bogotá; a churchman, Archbishop Oscar Romero, murdered while celebrating mass in San Salvador; a revolutionary, Che Guevara, sum- marily executed after his surrender to the Bolivian army; journalists Rodolfo Walsh and Irma Flaquer, disappeared in Argentina and Guatemala; an activ- ist lawyer and nun, Digna Ochoa, murdered in her office for defending human rights in Mexico; a soldier, General Carlos Prats, murdered in exile for standing up for democratic government in Chile; a pioneering human rights organizer, Azucena Villaflor, disappeared from in front of her home in Buenos Aires never to be seen again. They could all dance together, these and many other messengers of change cut down by this modern plague.

  • The Dirty War; Las Madres De Plaza De Mayo
    Anna Donovan 3-19-18 The Dirty War; Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo It is April 30, 1977, and the sky is gray, as it has been the last few months. One by one, a few women leave their quiet house and walk to the street silently. Fourteen depressed middle-aged women begin to march in pairs. A few strangers glance at them but quickly speed away in case they are thought to be associated with this particular group. Others, look at the brave women and begin to weep because of missing loved ones. All the women are wearing identical white headscarves to represent their children. Each lady is proudly holding their own designed sign. One poster reads “Niños Desaparecido”(Wulff), which translates to ‘missing children.’ In Argentina, these mothers were protesting the sudden disappearance of their children. It has been a few months since the military junta has kidnapped their family members. By circling the Plaza de Mayo, which is located in front of the presidential palace, the women are declaring their hatred for the military government. The mothers gained support once more women volunteered to protest the abduction of their own children. By joining the activist group known as “Las Madres de Plaza de Mayo”, the women in Argentina emphasized the importance of standing up for human rights. The mothers of the Plaza de Mayo created multiple protests in order to find their children; these women helped with the reconstruction of Argentina’s society, proved a significant moral impact, and transformed into a political group which aided the country in the transition to democracy.

Virginia M. García.- María E. Labado.- Marcelo J. Fuentes.- Anabel Fernández Sagasti.- Ruperto E. Godoy.- FUNDAMENTOS Señora Presidenta: El 30 de abril de 1977, a poco más de un año de la instauración de la dictadura cívico – militar más aberrante que sufrió nuestro país, un grupo de catorce mujeres madres de desaparecidos fueron convocadas por Azucena Villaflor de Devicenti a la Plaza de Mayo para reclamar a la Junta Militar por la aparición con vida de sus hijos secuestrados, dando origen a uno de los movimientos de derechos humanos y de resistencia política no violento más poderoso y emblemático del mundo, resignificando el dolor en lucha colectiva. Ese día sábado, en medio del estado de sitio impuesto por la dictadura, Azucena Villaflor, Berta Braverman, Haydée García Buelas, María Adela Gard de Antokoletz, Julia Gard, María Mercedes Gard y Cándida Gard, Delicia González, Pepa García de Noia, Mirta Baravalle, Kety Neuhaus, Raquel Arcushin, Elida de Caimi y una joven que no dio su nombre se reunieron con el objetivo de conseguir una audiencia con el presidente de facto, el genocida Jorge Rafael Videla. Inmediatamente se les acercaron policías para informarles que estaban prohibidos los grupos de tres o más personas, y que estaba prohibido estar de pie inmóvil en la vía pública (por el estado de sitio), por lo que les ordenaron que circularan o que se retiraran de la Plaza de Mayo.

In 1977, Villaflor led in creating the Mother of the Plaza de Mayo to protest the Argentine’s dictators disappearing of thousands of its own citizens. A person is “disappeared” when a government or its agents kills that person, hides their remains, and denies any knowledge of their whereabouts. Thousands were disappeared by Argentina’s dictatorship between 1977 and 1983; thousands of others have been disappeared around this world. The orkw Villaflor ts ated led to the creations of the United Nations’ International Convention for the Protection of all Persons from Enforced Disappearances and to the universal condemnation of disappearances.

  • ARGENTINA INTRODUCTION > Argentina Was Under Military Rule from 1976 to 1983; Close to 10,000 People Were “Disappeared” by the State During This Period
    ARGENTINA INTRODUCTION > Argentina was under military rule from 1976 to 1983; close to 10,000 people were “disappeared” by the state during this period. Since 1984, EAAF has been investigating these political disappearances. Over the last few years, information about the role of the security forces and the bureaucratic processes related to the repression has become increasingly available. In 1997, EAAF gained access to crucial documents stored by the federal government and the provincial government of Buenos Aires. Since then, EAAF has made steady advances in the retrieval of these documents—most significantly, the recovery of an extensive collection of fingerprints—that have allowed the team to resolve more complex cases of disappearance. Crucial to our investigation have often been the testimonies of survivors of the Centros Clandestinos de Detención (Clandestine Detention Centers, CDCs) that operated during the military regime, and interviews with relatives of disappeared persons, social and political activists, and former guerrilla members. EAAF devotes a significant amount of time to conducting interviews. The investigative process carried out by EAAF is, together with the development of new DNA analysis techniques, essential to at last identify the remains of the disappeared people. >> Architectural plan of The Crematorium in San Vicente cemetery, Córdoba city, where EAAF conducted archeological excavations during 2004.
