Camila´s songs. The horror of reality.

There are other stories as terrible as those I told you about. In that CD there is a song based on a poem tht Dixie wrote about one of her friends who disappeared during Pinochet´s coup. The story was terrible and moving. And I remembered one of my friends of the time I went to parties. I invited him to my wedding although it wasn´t a big wedding. His mom gave me a beautiful dish I still have as a wedding gift. Georges parents had been in Auschwitz and they had survived. They fled from Europe. He was born in Canada and they decided to raise their son in Chile thinking that nothing wrong would happen here. And the coup came. And George, then studying medicine, had become a close friend of President Allende. He was at the Government Palace when it was bombed. They took out all the people that were inside. And they made them lay on the floor and killed them. I learned for sure what had happened to him several years later when I read about this from one of the survivors (Sergio Bitar "Dawson") A movie was also made about that book. But memory is frail Try to keep your good and bad memories alive, friends. They are all important.
