In Argentina, this is a public holiday that commemorates all those who lost their lives or otherwise suffered under the
National Reorganization Process, a military
dictatorship that seized power in Argentina on March 24, 1976. The
junta held power for eight years, and, in that time, at least 30,000 citizens were kidnapped, tortured, and executed for their political views. Around the country, art exhibitions, poetry readings, prayer services, and other cultural events are dedicated to remembering the events of March 24.
