ESMA Site Museum - Former Clandestine Centre of Detention, Torture, and Extermination (25/04/2017) ArgentinaDerzhprom (the State Industry Building) (27/04/2017) Ukraine
These 2 are quite remarkable I think:
Between 1976 and 1983, during the last military dictatorship,
ESMA premises was a fundamental part of the repressive scheme whose epicentre was in this building, where the Clandestine Centre of Detention, Torture, and Extermination (CCDTyE) operated. Here, the Navy kidnapped, tortured and disappeared more than 5,000 men and women. The serious human rights violations, the systematic plan to steal children born in captivity, and the extermination of prisoners who were thrown alive into the sea during the so-called "flights of death" make this building a symbol of the genocide that took place in our country. It is incontrovertible proof of the
State terrorism that inflicted extreme criminal violence on society at large.
Derzhprom is the world's first state-level office building solved in modernist forms. The
world's largest building in the constructivist style was built at the beginning of the worldwide creative development of this style and had a significant impact on the development of not only Ukrainian but also world culture and architecture.
