46. Children of the Disappeared
9 months ago
March 19, 2009
The legacy of Argentina's Dirty War lives on in the children of those who disappeared. We pair their portraits with the poetry of Alicia Partnoy, a survivor from that time and place.
In 1977, Partnoy and her husband “disappeared.” They were abducted by uniformed Argentinean military personnel and imprisoned in the
concentration camp La Escuelita (“The Little School”). They were beaten and tortured for the next six months. Ruth, their 18-month-old daughter, was left behind.
In 1999, Zachmann traveled to Buenos Aires to photograph members of HIJOS. The children of “the disappeared” are the youngest generation who are carrying the mantle passed down from the "Grandmothers and Mothers of May Square."
Produced by Andy Dayton and Trent Gilliss

Laura Theroux 9 months agoYou can tell the difference between those who are missing and those who are deceased by the look in their relatives faces...mostly in the eyes. Those of the missing have an angry or lost or abandoned look, those of the deceased look almost resolved, accepting, one even is smiling. Look for yourself, only looking at the photo first before reading about their person.
