The book “Breaking the silence of children and adolescents who were victims of political executions during the civic-military dictatorship 1973-1990” incorporates testimonies, photographs, letters, and other documents that families and friends provided or wrote specifically for publication.

The book was produced by the Association of Relatives of Political Executions (AFEP) with the support of the Ministry of Cultures, Arts, and Heritage, through the Culture, Memory, and Human Rights Unit, and the Human Rights Chair of the University of Chile.

The publication, based primarily on the Report of the National Commission for Truth and Reconciliation (1991) and the Report of the National Commission for Reparation and Reconciliation (1996), seeks to reconstruct each of the victims' lives and stories in a comprehensive and careful manner.

During the research, access was granted to the archive of the Association of Relatives of Political Executions, which houses documents that families have preserved over the years. Illustrations by Álvaro Gómez were also included.

The creative process was a complex challenge that involved combining delicacy, respect, and methodological rigor to articulate a painful and inescapable truth in this work.
