…Give us this day our daily bread, the one that, yesterday you took away from us
a Latin American’s Lord’s Prayer Mario Benedetti Excerpted from The Little School: Tales of Disappearance and Survival by Alicia Partnoy
The first time I visited my father in Argentina was during the height of the “Dirty War.” It was 1980, I was five and I remember seeing uniformed soldiers carrying rifles in the airport. I didn’t understand the significance then, but the images stayed with me. After college, when I was living and working in Buenos Aires and beginning to learn more about the “Dirty War” and the Desaparecidos (the Disappeared), I reflected back on those early childhood images. It was after marching with Las Madres one Thursday that I knew I had to write about them one day.
THE MADRES is a story about the strength and resilience of women. It’s about brave women who refused to be silenced. When they chose to speak out, to stand up and march, they were called “crazy/ Las Locas” - as women who speak truth to power often are. No one believed their stories of their missing children. No one believed the govern- ment could or would do such a thing. No one wanted to believe them. This didn’t stop Las Madres from speaking out, demanding justice and showing up every Thursday to march right in front of the Casa Rosada (Argentina’s equivalent of our White House.) Las Madres - the original Women’s Marchers- were the first to resist the Argentine dictatorship.
The timing of the world premiere of The Madres is remarkable because it seems people are finally listening to women. I pray that we never stop listening. There is so much we can learn from Las Madres and their brave act of resistance. Let us never forget, let us never be com- placent in the face of injustice, let us always be as brave as Las Madres. Ni olvido, ni perdón!
