Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice Description
A solemn national holiday commemorating the victims of the military dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983. Large marches converge on the Plaza de Mayo in Buenos Aires, led by human rights organizations including the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo. Government offices, schools, and many businesses close. The day serves as a nationwide reflection on the importance of democracy, human rights, and the collective memory of the estimated 30,000 disappeared persons during the Dirty War.
