Los Desaparecidos

Los Desaparecidos

After the mausoleum, we went to La Casa Rosada, or the Pink House, which is where the president works, but does not live. The plaza is home to many demonstrations. Every Thursday at 3:00, the mothers of the desaparecidos march for the children that were taken from them during the 70s. It was very sad to watch, as most of these women are now very old. The spoke and then got onto a van while others marched in the background. They had pictures of their missing children and it was heartbreaking to see them still mourning them. The women wore cloth diapers on their heads to represent the bond between mother and child.
