Argentine museum remembers victims of `Dirty War'
REUTERS , BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
Friday, Mar 26, 2004,Page 6

Argentine President Nestor Kirchner inaugurated a "Museum of Memory" at a navy base infamous as a torture center on Wednesday to commemorate thousands of people killed under one of Latin America's most brutal dictatorships.

The transformation of the whitewashed building of the Navy Mechanical School, ESMA, into a museum is a landmark for rights groups and relatives after two decades of democracy to honor up to 30,000 victims of the 1976-1983 "Dirty War."

"There is only one name for those responsible for the sinister and macabre acts at concentration camps like ESMA -- murderers repudiated by the Argentine people," Kirchner told thousands of people massed at what has been called "Argentina's Auschwitz."
