The Story of Jewish Argentine Rebel Alicia Raboy: In Conversation with Author Marc Raboy

From 1976 to 1983, a campaign was waged by Argentina’s military dictatorship against suspected left-wing political opponents. It is estimated that between 10,000 and 30,000 individuals were murdered, and many of them were disappeared, meaning that they were taken by authorities and never seen or heard from again.

When the military junta filled the presidency of Argentina in March 1976, it closed the National Congress, imposed censorship, banned trade unions and brought state and municipal governments under military control. A violent campaign against suspected dissidents also commenced.

In this episode, Lisa speaks with Marc Raboy, Professor Emeritus at McGill University, and author of Looking for Alicia: The Unfinished Life an Argentine Rebel. Marc discusses his journey researching his family connection to Argentina that led him to discover the story of Alicia Raboy, a young Jewish journalist from the Argentinian city of Mendoza. Alicia was a member of the Monteneros, a left-wing organization that opposed the military junta.
