This was a room for games and recreation. There was a pool table in the center, and you can still see the marks of what used to be a full bar with drinks at the entrance. This area continued to serve as a recreational venue after 1976, and so far there are no testimonies of survivors about what this room may have looked like.
State terrorism was a tool used to implement a political, military, economic, and social project. Its ideologists and executors represented different sectors of Argentine society. Between 1976 and 1983, the terrorist State led by the Armed Forces resorted to extreme criminal violence as a political method to eliminate the opposition and control the population. A complex system was implemented based on the forced disappearance of people and the creation of a network of clandestine detention centers. But the system also included prisons, exile, political persecution, censorship, propaganda and the installation of fear.
This room now projects a video that provides historical context for the crimes that were committed here.
