Pulling down Oblivion After two years of research, we opened the “Site Museum”, i.e., the place identified by most of the testimonies gathered to date as a space where people were detained and tortured. This applies to the first and the second buildings that form this building complex, where architectural works of demarcation and preservation have been carried out. The walls that were built once the dictatorship ended were pulled down. These distorted the original space of the D2, affecting the identification of the usual itineraries the detainees were made to follow in this Clandestine Detention Centers . By pulling down these walls, we could recover the memory about the space and bring to light the repressed stories.
