Interactive CD: Clandestine Detention Center El Vesubio

The elaboration of the interactive CD about the Clandestine Detention Center is now in its final phase. The CD consists of a multimedia combination of sources and testimonies that allow for an approximation to the characteristics and operation of El Vesubio. This material was accepted as proof in the First Organization of the Army Trial, in the federal court N3 of Dr. Daniel Rafecas.

Shedding light on the arduous path, they have followed, the Commission of Family Members, Survivors, and Friends of the Victims collaborated in this undertaking contributing material and information that they had accumulated over various years. At the same time, they allowed us to incorporate into the CD six fragments of testimonies of survivors of the clandestine detention centre, whose complete versions form part of Memoria Abierta’s Oral Archive.

Fragments of these testimonies combined with animated volumetric reconstructions of the demolished building interact with each other and try to describe some of the experiences and gestures of resistance to the system of extermination implemented by the last military dictatorship in Argentina.

The CD also includes the history of the center, its introduction into military territory- apt for the development of practices of extermination- and a description of the struggle of the relatives and survivors to maintain the memory of what took place.
