"How can I release this memory without it turning into oblivion? So, echoing myself, I told him that I agreed to accompany him. To enter his prison in order to leave it together. I asked him to understand that together, we would see more, that we had to take into account and add episodes that he had ignored at that time, although he had been very close to the facts. In this way, the words of those who are no longer here or who were not listened to could continue to live with us."
On September 11, 1973, what had been a dream for many—to bring about profound change without resorting to violence and to improve the lives of the poorest through peaceful reforms—became a nightmare. On that day, a military coup overthrew the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, plunging Chile into a dark period of repression and terror.
Thousands of Chileans opposed to the authoritarian regime that was being established endured the worst atrocities: assassinations, forced disappearances, systematic torture, arbitrary imprisonment and forced exile. This period has left a lasting mark on the collective memory of the country, leaving deep scars in the social and political fabric of Chile.
