During Argentina's "Dirty War" (1976-1983), hundreds of children were stolen from their parents, who were disappeared by the military junta. The Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo, a group of grandmothers, launched a decades-long fight to find their stolen grandchildren. Using innovative strategies and eventually DNA technology, they located dozens of children, highlighting their resilience and determination in the face of state-sponsored violence. The book "A Flower Traveled in My Blood" recounts their remarkable story and the broader political context of Argentina's human rights abuses.
