Like every country also Argentina has it’s dark spots in history. This is Nancy. She’s a daughter of one of the 30000 ‘desaparecidos’, missing persons from Argentina’s dictatorship from 1976-83. She was 12 years old when her father José was abducted, a rifle put in her stomach because she won’t stop screaming by an uniformed person. She would never see him again. A ‘desaparecido’ has no body, no grave. He just disappeared. Nancy forms part of my ongoing project of the children of the missing. She’s an incredible woman, so strong and kind. I am Sarah Pabst, @_sarahpabst_ for @burndiary posting from Argentina and showing you her story. This is Day 7, my last day for Burndiary.
