Cecilia Podolsky, et al., desaparecido plaques

Cecilia Podolsky, et al., desaparecido plaques by kragen.
These three plaques are in the sidewalk on Chile street in Buenos Aires. They list the names of three people who were "disappeared" by the military government of Argentina in the late 1970s, just after it came to power; their names are Susana Elena Pedrini, Jose Daniel Bronzel, and Cecilia Podolsky. Each plaque reads:

Aqui vivio
(name of person)
Militante popular
Detenida desaparecida
27-7-76
Por el terrorismo de estado
Barrios por Memoria y Justicia

Which means:
Here lived
(name of person)
Militant of the people
Detained disappeared
1976-07-27
By state terrorism
Neighborhoods for Memory and Justice

You can read more about this family of three at www.desaparecidos.org/arg/victimas/b/bronzel/

Two of their bodies were found and buried in a cemetery in 2000.

In a few years I expect to see plaques like this all over the United States as government repression increases.
