07:5930 000 people who disappeared during the dictatorship we went with claudio and anna former exiles who have
08:06many lifelong friends and comrades buried there every year there are people i've been having coffee with
08:14hanging out with praying rabbi tom julio pronsano but sometimes words just aren't enough
08:29in this place with all this history but this part of the history has to start at the beginning
08:39i had just turned 20 and i left with a minor's permit
08:46but things just like the killings took 17 years to settle down
08:51i had to finish my early childhood education degree which is what i was studying and still
09:03had left to complete anyway in a few months when things settle down i'll go back to finish my degree
09:09and fate brought them together more than 40 years ago i met claudio we started a family i studied
09:20in barcelona i worked in barcelona and we came back in 1994.
09:26la tragedia y el horror led to some unexpected coincidences 17 compañeros de promoción tengo
09:33tres amigos de barrio 17 classmates three friends from my neighborhood friends i've known since i was
09:42a teenager there and those are fellow activists tengo amigos hijos de amigos hermanos de amigos
09:50i have friends friends children and friends siblings yes i do and that's what happened with claudio
09:58as we read the walls we kept discovering that we knew people in common the consigna desde el
10:04the guiding principle since the return has been to preserve the memories and at times to overcome our
10:10fear i brought my granddaughters along and the youngest one who was nine at the time and was reading
10:23the signs noticed the word pregnant the dictatorship certainly showed no mercy or humanity
10:36so little

10:54our
10:54children here this place really moves me
11:05because beyond everything it tells you let's say the way the tour is put together
11:15it all gives me a real sense of what actually happened and sometimes as eduardo galliano said we have to
11:23help people see it is a place we've explored both on our own and with others
11:39we've even accompanied people who had a missing immediate family member and who had never been
11:47there before and who encountered for the first time a name and a place that was very moving
