Abstract: In 1976 a military coup d'état brought an

dictatorships in Latin American history, until it was overthrown

terror, torture, murder and bizarre extremes of censorship at
the hands of their government. Thousands "disappeared."
Yet throughout it all, many Argentinians denied that anything
bad was happening, or excused the violence as necessary for the
national good. Even today, all-too-many Argentinians are eager
to forget the nightmare that descended upon their country, and
may therefore be allowing the conditions of its occurrence to
arise again.
