This is because it was a terrible time when the Argentine people were ruled by a military dictatorship that used fear to have total control over the people. General Jorge Rafael Videla was the mastermind behind this highly organized fear system (Edwards 48). His system was to arrest anyone who opposed the government in any way. But in most cases, everyone the junta didn't like disappeared without a trace. For example, some of those unfairly targeted and who quickly disappeared were middle-class workers, university graduates, students, teachers, social activists, priests, doctors, journalists, trade unionists and leaders ( Ismi 28).

After spending time in the death camps, the missing were heavily sedated and thrown from a plane into a body of water, never to be seen again. (Edwards 48; Benedetti 6). In total, approximately thirty thousand people were killed by this horrific and systematic method. Of all these imprisoned victims, around five thousand were pregnant women.

Because of all the evidence lost and destroyed, they guessed that only a tiny amount of about one hundred and fifty imprisoned women survived childbirth in the death camps.

This terrible process resulted in an unknown number of newborns, in addition to the number
