Forty-five years after the Chilean coup led by Gen. Augusto Pinochet, there are still stories emerging of the horrors that followed the Sept. 11, 1973, overthrow of Marxist President Salvador Allende. The coup set off a campaign of repression against suspected leftists across Chile, with tens of thousands rounded up and tortured, often raped. One of those on the black lists of suspected leftists was Vittoria's mother, Matilde. They shouted for her mother, and Vittoria watched her father hand Matilde over to them. Officials say more than 3,065 suspected leftists were killed under the dictatorship, and many their bodies were never recovered.
