Life in Argentina seems to be pretty normal. The people that lived through the *Dirty War” are desperate to keep the memory alive so that it never happens again. The younger generation is more interested in their phones and other electronics. The ones who are supposed to be teaching the younger generations may do it or may not. We can only control ourselves so I think it is basically up to the parents to try to instill the horror of these human rights violations on their children. I also thank and praise those who are running and working at the memory sites for doing their part in the attempt for “Nunca Mas”.

Córdoba & Buenos Aires, Argentina
I do agree that life in Argentina seems to be normal but I would say life in Buenos Aires is considered more organized than cordoba. And I liked how you mentioned that the responsibility falls onto the older generation to make sure that the crisis isn’t repeated. As stated in one of my previous post I find Nunca MAs to be a motto that make people try to follow and it holds a lot of importance.
The younger generation, who I’ve talked to at least, is deeply interested in the future of their country in ways that resemble the generations before them. The big difference is that the elders they would have looked up to for guidance were largely killed, imprisoned, or forced into exile. Those who remain with us undertake a valiant and endless effort to honor those lost and preserve the memory of these years.
