About House of Tears
To all innocent victims of the wars against humanity
In the dark days of the military government in Argentina, known as "the process", thousands disappeared without a trace into prison cells and torture chambers. The women who walked in the Plaza de Mayo wearing white kercheifs, demanding the return of their loved ones, were the conscience of the nation. In their Spirit were the eyes of "the disappeareds." |
