Description
Poster, produced by the Chile Committee for Human Rights, titled "Auschwitz 1945? No. Lonquen, Chile '79"
The poster was produced to share information on the Human Rights abuses conducted under the Pinochet military dictatorship in Chile, which gained control in the 1973 Chilean Coup. The poster shows a diagram of a lime quarry in which human remains had been found in 1978. It provides information on how people had been 'disappeared' by the dictatorship, and how twenty five of their bodies had been discovered in a disused lime quarry.
