May he rot in prison. May someone execute the justice Chile is incapable of executing. I’m crossing my fingers something comes of his arrest.
When we heard the news, Mama and I hugged each other, crying tears of joy. Even Manuel, silent as always, looked happy; I could swear I saw... read more

I don’t want to look, and see my sister’s name. If it’s even there. Who knows how many have gone undocumented even in this human rights report process? But those names that are there–proof. Proof of the heinous crimes of the government; and yet, there will be no vindication.

Professor Volk,
I found this to be a very interesting and definitely quite challenging.

Today is the 34th anniversary of the day that my parents disappeared. I realized a few days ago that Pepe and Gabriel are 11 and 8—the same ages that Ignacio and I were 34 years ago.
I can’t imagine what would happen, if, for whatever reason, Laura and I were disappeared... read more

The most amazing happened this week. I met my little sister.
Her adoptive family lives in Córdoba and so Nonna, Ignacio, and I went up to meet her. Nonna is quite fragile these days, but she said she wouldn’t miss meeting her granddaughter for anything, even if she was... read more

Dearest Sofia,
I saw on the television today that Pinochet is back in Chile. Guillermo and I made sure to turn on the news in the evening, and there he was, waving triumphantly. It also showed big protests on the Alameda. Were they really so big? Did you go? I hope... read more

I wanted to continue this journal with another post by Isabel, but I feel it is more apt to discuss my feelings of the assignment as a whole, and my thoughts about being Isabel’s creator.

My parents died when I was 57. First my mother and then my father, in the same year. My mother got sick all of sudden and died quickly, but my father died slowly over the next 6 months. He would tell me how he felt... read more
