The Dirty War in Argentina and the Resistance of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo
The "dirty war" in Argentina is one of the open wounds of its contemporary history. The Madres de Plaza de Mayo keep alive the memory of thousands of disappeared people who were victims of repression and political intolerance in the 1970s. The struggle of this movement reminds us that democratic regimes can only thrive when they take on society's demand to recognize and deliver justice for the crimes of the past.
