WORLD NEWS CHILE-MEMORY 7 MCT
A large mosaic sits in the center of an amphitheater inside the former clandestine jail where opponents of the military regime of Augusto Pinochet were held, tortured, and exterminated by the secret police from 1973-78. Today it is a memorial park honoring the fallen and a reminder of the atrocities committed there. It was created in the hopes these crimes will never be repeated. (Helen Hughes / Helen Hughes / MCT)
