- I decided to present this interview as a first-person statement, since that genre would express Nora’s personal experience most authentically. The content was in no way modified by this decision, only the format. The resulting testimony is the written expression of Nora Cortiǹas voice, her emotions and experiences as a woman.

- Translator’s note: The term ‘disappeared’ (desaparecido/a in Spanish) acquired use as a noun and a passive verb in the 1970s when military governments in Latin America began routinely eliminating people as if they had never existed. Hence, ‘the disappeared’ are people who vanished and whose fate has never been acknowledged.

- Two organisations existed before the military dictatorship: the Argentine Human Rights League (Liga Argentina por los Derechos Humanos) since 1948, and the Permanent Human Rights Assembly (Asamblea Permanente por los Derechos Humanos) since 1975. The Relatives of Persons Detained and Disappeared for Political Reasons (Familiares de Detenidos y Desaparecidos por Razones Políticas), the Peace and Justice Service (Servicio Paz y Justicia), and the Ecumenical Human Rights Movement (Movimiento Ecuménico por los Derechos Humanos) all began to function in 1976.
