Abstract

In December 2013, two memorials were built in memory of those Jews killed during the Chilean Dictatorship (1973-1990). Both memorials continue a political division for Jewish-Chilean, who experienced the ideological and political ideas of the Cold War. The two memorials are analyzed to understand how the Chilean Jewish Community excluded the narrative about repression against leftist Jews.
