My host grandfather denies that Pinochet’s regime tortured anyone unjustly; his daughter likes to tell the tale of how her ex-husband was detained and tortured three days before their wedding. A trial of the former dictator, which might have forced the two sides to talk to one another to find common ground, never happened, and now, never will. The emphasis is on moving forward...
