More than 1,000 detention and torture camps have been created from the day of the putsch, and . more than 100 000 people have been captured in three years. A lot of installations are set up in the public buildings of the cities: the most famous is the football stadium of Santiago. Some days, the soldiers covered the sound of the screams with music. Other days, they were shooting to scare people.
In front of an old building in the center, I noticed a tag on the door: “ My son was tortured here ”. Commemorative plates have been put on the ground. The age and the political party of the victims is written under their names.
" I was 21 when I was in the camp." says Renato. “ Most of the time, at this age, you only meet adults who care about you, more or less. The family, the teachers are those old people thinking for your good, even when they yell at you. And suddenly, you face sadists who want to destroy you, and your whole world is collapsing. "
