Description

Testimonies collected by Matilde Mellibovsky. Translated from Spanish by Maria & Matthew Proser. Many times I've related this painting (Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Child") to the horrors we have lived through in our country; a terrorist state that ingested its own children. Enormous, like Goya's monster who takes the child by the waist with the utmost ease -- it's the way they carried off our children -- they were utterly defenseless." Matilde Mellibovsky, a founder of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, describes here the anguish and torment of families whose children were among those that were "disappeared" in Peronist Argentina. She also describes how the women who lost their children gave each other comfort and support and how they slowly but surely built an international movement.
