Alicia and Paco were members of a revolutionary organization, the Montoneros, Argentina's most consequential urban guerrilla group of the 1970s. I remembered that when news of Argentina's desaparecidos -- the disappeared -- began to be reported, I occasionally wondered what my fate might have been had my grandfather remained in Argentina.

I was never a member of any revolutionary organization but I knew people who were, and in Argentina that would have been enough.

As many as 30,000 people, mostly in their 20s, were killed or "disappeared" (which became a verb during this era) between 1975 and 1983 in what Argentinians commonly refer to today as the period of terrorismo de Estado -- State Terrorism"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Disappeared persons $z Argentina. 650 0 $a Victims of state-sponsored terrorism $z Argentina. 941 $a 1 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220416010055.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=775D0936BD4A11ECA1F392A036ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
