The Harrowing Reality of Argentina's Military Junta

In 1977 Argentina, under military rule, political dissidents faced extreme persecution, as exemplified by Miriam Lewin, a young activist who was targeted for her political beliefs. She was arrested and imprisoned for two years while others faced even more brutal fates, including being thrown from airplanes in notorious death flights. These death flights became a chilling symbol of the oppressive regime that ruthlessly sought to eliminate any opposition. This climate of fear and violence was not just directed at activists; it permeated society, leading to widespread disappearances and trauma that still resonate in Argentina today.
