The ESMA Museum and Site of Memory, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Argentina inscribed in September 2023, is a former naval school in Buenos Aires that served as a clandestine detention center during the 1976–1983 military dictatorship. Known as Argentina’s “Auschwitz,” it held around 5,000 of the 30,000 “disappeared,” with preserved spaces like the Officers’ Quarters revealing the horrors of torture and repression. As Argentina’s seventh UNESCO site and first tied to recent history, it stands as a global symbol of human rights, memory, and justice against state terrorism.
