Abstract

This essay discusses the Pinochet Dictatorship’s human rights violations. We argue that the Chilean military’s torture, disappearance, and execution of a significant part of its population, with development of a State terrorism and institutionalized racist practices constitute a holocaust. The U.S.-sponsored military regime killed with an allconsuming ideological obsession, and displayed a bureaucratic dedication to eliminating communism.
