Causa abierta contra el genocidio

The impunity for the crimes committed in Argentina during the last military dictatorship (1976-1983) motivated the direct victims of the repression and various human rights movements and legal experts to file a popular accusation against the military officers who directed and carried out the brutal repression: 30,000 disappeared, children kidnapped from their parents, and millions stolen from the victims. The complaint filed before the Central Court of Instruction No. 5 of Madrid by the Progressive Union of Prosecutors found support in Judge Baltasar Garzón, who opened Case 19/97 Against Genocide and State Terrorism in Argentina, 1976-1983.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
