    “I lived at the Buenos Aires suburbs, in a horrible place as in my quarter there were many soldiers and also some activists. Right behind the corner they once kidnapped children and their parents, killed the parents and gave the children to their grandparents. Those parents were a bit cheeky though as they had a child and expecting another one and as the mother was due any day soon, they didn’t run and got in a trap… from their neighbours I heard them getting kidnapped.”

    “Without any political support memory cannot be enforced. The awareness of genocide and memory are getting shape, if it allows for a political decision, otherwise the genocides are forgotten. Suffice to remember what happened in Chile, Spain or Uruguay… And where can we find any literature regarding getting rid of an Indian tribe in Latin America? The chapter has been forgotten due to lack of any political will.”
