For the last stop of our first day in Santiago. We visited the um or the Museum of Memory and Human Rights opened in 2010 and quickly gaining international renown. This museum delves deeply into the history and human rights violations that took place in Chile during the military dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet. After Pinochet took power in 1974 he ultimately shut down parliament and crushed political dissent by arresting torturing and murdering thousands of political opponents. Pinochet's regime lasted 17 years until 1990 he was ultimately arrested in London in 1998 after being charged internationally with human rights violations. The museum features a wealth of information on this era via information boards, news clippings, video footage and some interesting documents such as this classified one from us. President Reagan's Presidential Daily Brief. It's always humbling to learn about another nation's history in greater detail on the same soil it happened on even and sometimes especially the darker periods. The museum leaves no doubt that Chileans are strong and resilient people.
