Transitory detention and clandestine detention centers

CONADEP (National Commission on the Disappearance of Persons), created in 1984 at the end of the dictatorship, identified over 360 clandestine detention centers. Slow progress was made in following years in the search for precise information on these and other centers.

Over two decades later and thanks to the efforts of survivors, Human Rights organizations, the task of judges and public prosecutors and local, provincial and national public bodies, it has been possible to augment the preliminary information.

Memoria Abierta has since its inception had the mission of contributing to shed more light on the buildings that served the purposes of illegal repression, as a means to prevent that through oblivion or deliberate activities, their existence should be negated.

It is an ongoing task. The data-gathering and research carried out collectively with local individuals and organizations, has led us to design the maps we present today. These maps may be printed and used for pedagogical, study or legal investigation purposes,

We trust that they will represent a new and useful tool to identify the dimension of State terrorism in Argentina and understand the logic and the systematic nature of the repression. And also to recognize the task that still lies before us to build more precise and federal memory.
