Rosa Roisinblit, emblematic figure of the grandparents of May Square and the fight against the Argentine dictatorship, whose leaders led to court, died on Saturday at 106, the association announced.
“The grandparents of May Square said goodbye to their dear companion Rosa Tarlovsky de Roisinblit, vice president of the grandparents from May from 2021, when, due to his advanced age, he assumed the honorary presidency of the institution,” the organization of human rights defense, on its portal on the internet.
Born in 1919 in Moses Ville, a village of Jewish immigrants in the Argentine Center-East, Rosa Roisinblit worked as an obstetrician when, on October 6, 1978, daughter Patricia Roisinblit and son-in-law José Pérez Rojo, both activists of the Armada Montoneros that fought against the military junta, were kidnapped.
The daughter of Patricia, Mariana, 15 months, was returned to the family and raised by Rosa.
But Patricia, then eight months pregnant, was transferred to the clandestine detention and torture center of the Buenos Aires Naval Mechanics School, where, a few days after giving birth, in a basement, the baby was removed.
Like about 30,000 other out-of-court kids during the military dictatorship (1976-1983), Patricia Roisinblit and José Pérez Rojo were murdered and the bodies were never recovered.
More than 20 years later, in 2000, thanks to the work of the grandparents of Praça de Maio, who was co -founder, Rosa managed to find Neto, Guillermo Roisinblit, one of 140 children recovered by the organization.
In the same year, three military personnel responsible for Neto’s abduction were sentenced to prison sentences between 12 and 25. Rosa and the two grandchildren, Mariana and Guillermo, attended the trial.
According to the grandparents of May Square, about 500 babies were stolen by the dictatorship to their parents, mostly opponents of the regime, and in many cases to mothers who gave birth to clandestine centers and disappeared, were murdered or thrown alive, but drugs, to the sea.
According to the association, there are still about 300 children.
The grandparents of May Square followed the footsteps of the mothers of May Square, who protested in 1981 to find their children who had been kidnapped.
On March 24, on the 49th anniversary of the 1976 military coup, President Javier Milei announced the disqualification of dictatorship -related intelligence files.
However, on August 14, Milei eliminated the Integrated Unit in the National Commission for the right to identity (Conadi) designed to investigate the appropriation of children during the dictatorship by Aleadametne impairing the separation of powers.
Milei’s government disputes the number of missing during the 30,000 military regime, a consensual estimate among human rights organizations, and only admits 8,751.
