Chile takes on ‘moral duty’ of finding the disappeared of Pinochet regime

 

Susana Barra’s home in a quiet suburb of Santiago, Chile, is only a few miles from the site of the former notorious Simón Bolívar death camp, which was operated by the secret police during the Pinochet dictatorship. Susana was eight years old when her 23-year-old sister, Jenny, was taken there in 1977, never to be seen again.

“No one left alive,” said Susana Barra, who wears a grainy, black and white picture of Jenny pinned to her chest – a symbolic gesture adopted by families still searching for relatives who disappeared during the Pinochet dictatorship.
