Argentina is celebrating a decision by a United Nations conference to include a former clandestine detention and torture center as a World Heritage site.
Workers react when the ESMA Museum and Site of Memory is declared an UNESCO World Heritage Site as they watch the announcement on television in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Tuesday, Sept. 19, 2023. The museum was once the Argentine Navy School of Mechanics that was used as an illegal detention and torture center during the Argentina's last military dictatorship.
“The Navy School of Mechanics conveyed the absolute worst aspects of state-sponsored terrorism,” Argentina’s Presidentsaid in a video message thanking UNESCO for the designation. “Memory must be kept alive so that no one in Argentina forgets or denies the horrors that were experienced there." The designation “is a tribute to the thousands of disappeared individuals in our continent,” Pietragalla said, adding that “this is an event of unique significance within Argentine and regional history, setting a precedent for continuing to lead by example in the world with policies of Memory, Truth, and Justice.”
