Hasta siempre

Hasta siempre
11.09.73 was the day of the miltary coup in Chile, and on 16.09.actor and singer Victor Jara was brutally murdered in Santiago's National stadium where 40.000 were imprisoned, tortured and 70 murdered. Thousands "disappeared", poet Pablo Neruda was poisoned in hospital (someone gave him a deadly botulin injection).

Victor Jara's music lives on:
Te recuerdo Amanda
Zamba del Che

On my first visit to Santiago in 2004 some of the houses around the Plaza de la Constitución still showed bullet holes from the coup, by 2008 everything had been renovated.

The bus of the Carabineros de Chile (noted for their brutality during the dicatorship) gave me the creeps...


In Barrio Paris-Londres there are many plaques in the pavement of "disappeared" and murdered young victims of the coup

Thank you so much, Carol! The worst is when people just "disappeared" and families couldn't bury their loved ones.
