During the Argentine military dictatorship (1976-1983), students, left-wing activists and artists disappeared. They were tortured, killed or dropped half-dead from planes over the river. In their memory there are inscription plaques with the names of the victims.
9000 of the probably 30,000 victims are already named on the stone walls and if information about further victims becomes known, their names will be added to the stone tablets.
