Forty years ago this month, a military junta staged a coup in Chile. September 11th 1973 was the first day of a violent dictatorship that would last until 1990. Its aftermath has left a scar on Chilean society. The Museo de Memoria y Derechos Humanos in Santiago, Chile was inaugurated in 2010 to commemorate the tens of thousands of Chileans who were disappeared, tortured, or killed. In this space, Chileans look at photos, hear testimony, and watch video footage of the military coup and its lasting legacy.
