Seeking to quash \u201csubversion\u201d and liberalize the economy, the coalition of military and civilian leaders who seized power in March 1976 instituted a vicious, secretive system of kidnapping, torture, and killing that claimed tens of thousands of lives and damaged countless more.<\/p>\n<p>Each March 24, now deemed the Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, Argentina honors these victims and energizes the ongoing struggle for accountability. Yet this year\u2019s commemoration has assumed an unusual character, as President Barack Obama\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2016\/mar\/23\/argentina-barack-obama-mothers-plaza-de-mayo-1976-coup\">ill-timed visit<\/a> to Argentina has focused the lion\u2019s share of attention on the U.S.\u2019 own role in first encouraging and later opposing the dictatorship. The involvement of the U.S., however, is far from the whole story. Indeed, focusing on this topic alone obscures the pioneering work of the coalition of Argentine human rights groups that fought, at great personal risk, to denounce the dictatorship, demanding justice for its victims and punishment of its crimes.<\/p>\n<p>In this post I turn away from the presidential-visit frenzy to focus instead on one of the less-heralded members of the anti-regime coalition, the Movimiento Jud\u00edo por los Derechos Humanos (MJDH, or Jewish Movement for Human Rights). Founded in August 1983 by Argentine journalist Herman Schiller and U.S.-born Rabbi Marshall T. Meyer, the MJDH served as a pole of Jewish anti-regime activism. Yet despite its significance, the MJDH has received little attention in Spanish and virtually none in English. Fortunately, though, the Rubenstein Library\u2019s Marshall T. Meyer Papers contain a wealth of documents that shed light on Meyer\u2019s role in the organization and on its broader efforts on behalf of truth and justice in Argentina, enabling this brief and timely overview of its work.<\/p>\n<p>The dictatorship that seized power on March 24, 1976 was a product not only of Cold War anti-communism, but also of Argentina\u2019s long-standing nationalist ideology, an anti-modern vision of the world that combined ultramontane Catholicism and anti-Semitism with a violent desire to quash all opposition. Many within this movement saw Jews a key root of subversion in Argentina and the world at large (powerfully illustrated in the \u201ctree of subversion\u201d illustration below), so it is unsurprising that the country\u2019s large Jewish minority found itself a disproportionate target of state violence. Yet the major institutions of the country\u2019s Jewish establishment\u2014including its umbrella organization, the Delegaci\u00f3n de Asociaciones Israelitas Argentinas (DAIA, or Delegation of Argentine Jewish Associations) took <a href=\"http:\/\/ijtj.oxfordjournals.org\/content\/5\/3\/366.abstract\">a cautious and even cooperative approach to the dictatorship<\/a>, leaving regime victims and their relatives with few places to turn for support. At the same time, international Jewish organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee fought valiantly to denounce the dictatorship, yet in centering their activism exclusively on the Jewish community, these groups at times divorced the Jewish-Argentine experience of repression from those of other regime victims.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11955\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/03\/Roots-of-Subversion.png\" alt=\"Roots of Subversion\" width=\"754\" height=\"942\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/03\/Roots-of-Subversion.png 754w, https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/files\/2016\/03\/Roots-of-Subversion-240x300.png 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 754px) 100vw, 754px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Building on Schiller\u2019s ongoing anti-regime advocacy and Meyer\u2019s longstanding work to support both Jews and non-Jews subject to the dictatorship\u2019s terror, the MJDH came together in mid-1983 in order to advance <a href=\"http:\/\/library.duke.edu\/digitalcollections\/meyermarshall_meypw04032\/\">a holistic vision of social justice<\/a> that tied the defeat of anti-Semitism to the protection of human rights across all sectors of Argentine society. By this point, the country\u2019s dictatorship was fast approaching the brink of collapse, having been fatally weakened by its humiliating defeat in the 1982 Malvinas\/Falklands War with the United Kingdom. It was a moment, Schiller and Meyer understood, when a united opposition reaching across Argentine society could both extract real concessions from the regime and help to shape a most just democratic future.<\/p>\n<p>The MJDH\u2019s first public activity, as described in a <a href=\"http:\/\/library.duke.edu\/digitalcollections\/meyermarshall_meypw04022\/\">November 1984 summary of its first year of organizing<\/a>, was to convene a Jewish continent to participate in an August 1983 march against the military\u2019s attempt to bestow amnesty upon itself for its many crimes. The success of this act emboldened Meyer and Schiller, encouraging them to plan their first independent rally for October of that year. Amid the political and economic tumult of late 1983, a new wave of anti-Semitism was washing over the country. While DAIA and other community leaders quietly lobbied the dictatorship to combat rising anti-Jewish sentiments, the MJDH took to the streets of downtown Buenos Aires. Despite DAIA\u2019s attempts to derail the event, thousands of supporters gathered at the city\u2019s iconic Obelisk to hear Nobel laureate Adolfo P\u00e9rez Esquivel and Hebe de Bonafini, leader of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo, denounce anti-Semitism and state terror as interlinked assaults on Argentines\u2019 basic human dignity.<\/p>\n<p>The MJDH\u2019s work continued past the free election of civilian President Ra\u00fal Alfons\u00edn on October 30, 1983. Throughout the transitional period, Schiller and Meyer organized rallies, speeches, conferences, and teach-ins, working with the Mothers and other human rights advocates to denounce ongoing <a href=\"http:\/\/library.duke.edu\/digitalcollections\/meyermarshall_meypw04030\/\">threats<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/library.duke.edu\/digitalcollections\/meyermarshall_meypw04035\/\">democracy<\/a> and to demand the judicial <a href=\"http:\/\/library.duke.edu\/digitalcollections\/meyermarshall_meynp01072\/\">punishment<\/a> of <a href=\"http:\/\/library.duke.edu\/digitalcollections\/meyermarshall_meynp01086\/\">regime crimes<\/a>. Together with the efforts of other Argentine human rights groups, these efforts culminated in the precedent-setting 1985 Trial of the Juntas, which sent the dictatorship\u2019s generals and torturers to jail and helped consolidate a new norm of criminal accountability in Argentina and in post-dictatorial societies far beyond. While the MJDH\u2019s activities have diminished in subsequent decades, even today the MJDH continues to push for a full accounting of dictatorship-era abuses and for open discussion of the Jewish community\u2019s complicated role in these difficult years. Spanning these decades of activism is a commitment to the plural vision of Jewish well-being, tied inseparably to universal rights, to which Meyer dedicated his life.<\/p>\n<p>By examining the work of civil society groups like the MJDH, we can help to move beyond decontextualized visions of the dictatorship that present it as a narrow conspiracy, imposed on the country with aid from abroad. The experiences of leaders like Herman Schiller and Marshall Meyer, together with those of the MJDH\u2019s supporters and opponents alike, help us to recover from Argentina\u2019s recent history a measure of the nuance and complexity with which it was lived.<\/p>\n<p><em>Post contributed by Paul Katz, PhD Candidate in History, Columbia University.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, March 24, 2016, marks the fortieth anniversary of the Argentine military coup that ushered in one of the Western Hemisphere\u2019s most repressive regimes.
