Rosa Roisinblit, campionessa per i bambini rubati in Argentina, muore a 106 anni
In the heart of Argentina, a story of resilience and determination unfolds. Roisinblit, born in 1919 in Moises Ville, embarked on a journey that spanned more than four decades, seeking justice for her family during the dark times of the country's military dictatorship.
Roisinblit was an obstetrician by trade, but her calling was far greater. In the late 1970s, her daughter Patricia and son-in-law were kidnapped, and her granddaughter Guillermo was taken away. This tragedy propelled Roisinblit into the forefront of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo campaign, a group dedicated to finding the "stolen grandchildren" of Argentina's dictatorship.
Roisinblit's activism was most intense during the 1980s. She demanded answers, alongside other mothers whose family members disappeared during the dictatorship. Her voice echoed in the Plaza de Mayo, calling for the whereabouts of her missing relatives. Tragically, the whereabouts of Patricia and her husband's bodies were never found, and they are among the many victims of Argentina's military dictatorship.
In 2000, more than 20 years later, Roisinblit was reunited with Guillermo, her grandson. This reunion was a testament to her unwavering spirit and the work of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo.
The Grandmothers group estimates that there are 300 "stolen grandchildren" yet to be found, born in captivity or kidnapped with their parents. This number serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice.
In 2016, two former air force commanders, an ex-intelligence officer were sentenced to prison for kidnapping and torture. Roisinblit was present in the courtroom at the age of 97, witnessing a small victory in her long fight.
Roisinblit's spirit remains undeterred. She stated, "The heroes are my children who rose against a fierce dictatorship and gave their lives for a better country." The pain from the loss of her daughter and son-in-law still persists, but she will never stop fighting.
The Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo expressed gratitude for Roisinblit's dedication, solidarity, and love in searching for her missing relatives. Guillermo was among 140 people that the group has reunited with their families.
As we reflect on Roisinblit's journey, we are reminded of the power of resilience and the importance of never giving up in the pursuit of justice. Approximately 30,000 people were victims of forced "disappearances" under Argentina's military dictatorship, but stories like Roisinblit's serve as a beacon of hope for those still seeking answers.
Roisinblit's fight continues, and so does the work of the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo. They believe there are still 300 "stolen grandchildren" yet to be found, and they will not rest until every child is reunited with their family. In Roisinblit's words, "The pain from the loss of my daughter and son-in-law never healed, but I will never stop fighting."
