These are the archaeological markers that show where “La Escuelita” once stood a clandestine detention and torture center run by the Argentine army in Bahía Blanca during the dictatorship (1975–1983). It operated as part of Operation Condor, the coordinated plan between Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay to disappear political opponents by sharing intelligence, prisoners, and torture methods. That campaign led to at least 60,000 extrajudicial killings across the region.
Photographer João Pina captured this site in Bahía Blanca in February 2012.
