CHILE DIA 6. CASA DE MEMORIA, ÑUÑOA, SANTIAGO.
Parece cualquiera casa pero era un centro de tortura bajo Pinochet, lugar de horror espantoso. Habian mas que mil en todo Chile. Cantamos "Pense oir al dulce Victor ... Cantar" en los escombros de la casa de Ñuñoa. No podia dejar de llorar.
El marido de Monica fue 'desaparido' en una tal casa. Despues de su exilio ella regreso con su nuevo compañero holandes en 1989. En 1990 chocaron a su taxi desde los dos lados simultaneamente. Se murio su compa al instante. Ella anda renca todavia pero se dedica a la lucha para la justicia para tod@s y para mantener su memoria. [fotos abajo]

CHILE
DAY 6. HOUSE OF MEMORIES, ÑUÑOA. This nondescript house was actually a
torture centre under Pinochet, a place of unspeakable horror. There
were more than 1000 such places throughout Chile. Tony and I sang "I
Thought I Heard Sweet Victor ... Singing" on the site of the Ñuñoa torture centre. I couldn't stop crying.
Monica's husband was disappeared into one such. Exiled to Holland she came back with her Dutch companion after Chile's 'return to democracy' in 1989. In 1990 their taxi was smashed into from both sides at once. Her compa was killed outright. Monica still limps but dedicates her life to the struggle for justice for all the victims and to maintain their memory. Banner: 'They live on in those who carry on the struggle'
