The Little School: Tales of Disappearance and Survival in Argentina - Softcover
Alicia partnoy was among the 30,000 Argentinians who disappeared after the military junta came to power in 1976. One of the very few survivors, this is a remarkable portrayal of events in a concentration came -- the Little School -- where she and her friends were interned. With heartbreaking clarity and perception. She weaves into the ruling details of daily prison life extraordinary moments of warmth, humor and companionship.

From Library Journal:
Military regimes are not at all unusual in Argentina, but those that ruled from 1976 to 1979 were unique in the number of civilians, mostly young people, who were kidnapped, jailed, tortured, and/or murdered because of their political beliefs. Late in 1977 the author was taken into custody by the army and sent to "the little school," one of many camps where dissidents were "taught" their "lessons." Imprisoned without charges, she spent almost a year blindfolded and bound, cut off from friends and family, including her child, until being inexplicably released. Partnoy's glimpses of her life in prison are understandably disjointed and meandering, but they stand as a record of character and fortitude. Louise Leonard, Univ . of Florida Lib., Gainesville
