MARTIN YELLOW ACCOUNT YOUR FIRST MEETING WITH SEARCH AND YOUR FAMILY
"I never gave so many hugs in my life"
Three brothers a real name, the face of the mother, a storm of discoveries and sensations. Martin ends to discover who she is and be reflected in the small and large similar habits of a family that did not know existed until a week ago. Dandan
By Alejandra is 29 years old, skinny body, short beard. A bit of talk says he is nervous, his feet off the ground, the body shakes and trembled when he played for the first time an accordion. It was one he had borrowed and still did not know, missing many years to know, that was the same instrument played by his mother. "When I touched him I felt and I shook hands, do not know if I ever tasted, I liked the bass sound is like having a piano in the chest, a instrument with every note that you open or to close you feel that shakes everything. "Less than one week from the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo called him to tell his story." Only now I'm putting down to earth "and tries to run explained without commas, almost without breath. "I am dazzled, known to them, knowing myself."
are more than eleven at night. Martin is on a terrace near the Congress and a tumult of voices heard in the background, like a whisper. Thirty years ago, exactly the November 2, 1979, the three Martin brothers came to the house of her grandparents in the Chaco after fifteen days in captivity. A group Army task had kidnapped their parents, Marcela Molfino and Guillermo Amarilla, Oct. 17, just returned home in the counter-Montoneros. A Guillermo kidnapped him in a bar during an appointment. Marcela was taken from the house of San Antonio de Padua where they were living. They also took the three boys, a brother William and their two children. The five boys were kept in an old house in the care of a group of female police officers (see sidebar). On November 2, pulled them out of there, hopped on a plane and deposited in a province not known, the care of an aunt. Nobody knew until now the existence of Martin. The fourth brother was born eight months after the kidnapping. Thirty years later, this November 2, the story was put things in order: the grandmother called the three brothers and Martin Yellow-Molfino. Hours later, he gave the first hug.
"something very strange happened to me all this time," Martin boots. "All the time I wanted to move to San Antonio de Padua, did not know why. Until he had spoken with a friend and she asked me why I said Padua and I do not know, I like Padua."
- Do you live nearby?
"I live a half hour, forty minutes. But I never knew why I wanted to go there. And I find myself all the time with things like that, little things little by little I understood which seem an insignificant detail, small, but are not as well. I met a lot of cousins \u200b\u200bthat eat the fingers like me! The same type of food! It is the first time it happens.
- What is happening these days?
"I'm living. That. And spent several days, I have a feeling that was not long, the first two days seemed 54 months. Not appear to have been less than a week! Only now are putting me down to earth. I'm fine, people are very nice and I think this is a very important moment for everyone, felt they were at my side, but there are still things I do not understand.
- Like what?
-The musical tastes of them still do not understand.
-A you'll like the music.
"Yes, and I like all music, but I'm accordionist.
- How did you start with that?
-I play the guitar as a kid, but one day I bought an accordion. I do not know if you ever tasted a concertina: I always drew attention because I liked the sound. Once I borrowed one and I felt: I shook hands, is like having a piano in the chest, an instrument with every note that you open or hills feel that trembles all, feel the vibration of the note, the bass notes, make you vibrate. Still I'm learning, I say, but as I understand when it rings.
- How we live the game with your family?
"I'm still trying to translate what I feel, put words. I feel very protected, very carefully, as I understood from the outset, because the two sides was a shock. I feel it is a story that I'm just getting to know and they already brought. There are open questions around at the time it is love that is in the foreground. When I saw them, I said, no more separate myself from them because now, after everything that happened and then they tried to separate ... But I'm not saying anything about the person I consider it my mother heart. To him self. That is, maybe if I recognize an anger toward someone is to him, to which I captured. I really know now how was the story, I know she received me with all the love in the world and now I just talk to her, I'm just enjoying it. The meeting
Martin was born on May 17, 1980 at the Military Hospital of Campo de Mayo, an Army building where they gave birth to female detainees in secret facilities. It was left to a military intelligence agent who died fifteen years later. Teenager, he began to wonder about its origins. The brothers have just met are convinced that Martin did not discover any role needed to know what had happened. Marcela believe that his mother told him a thousand times during pregnancy, who spoke to the belly, that he has stuck in the body of her voice and telling of his brothers who he was. Martin
realized that was not the son of who was supposed to son for different things, but the accounts were: the person who made her mother was over fifty when he was born. He was looking for pictures of your pregnancy. Say they never said what he did his supposed father. Who said he was clerk. And that did not show the photos that appeared in military uniform. Just came home for the first time, figured bride was not the son of that family. The brothers say if she knew him too.
The three brothers still live in the Chaco. Mauricio is 34 and is high on Martin. Joachim, 32, is very big, and Ignacio, 30, is the closest to Martin. The three traveled to Buenos Aires on Monday, would return to Chaco on Tuesday, but last night they were still here.
"At first I did not understand anything," continues Martin. "It was like watching a movie in which I was a spectator of my life, with the days I talked to my dad's brothers and other people and that helped me because I was told to take it slowly, because a speeds up and everything seems very fast and turns at breakneck speed. "
- Did you know American history?
" It's shocking because it seems that the past meets the country's life. And I do not know if I have a great knowledge of history, but I have a knowledge of what happened to the military dictatorship and always sensitized me a lot and it caught my attention. I saw movies, read issues of the dictatorship. sensitized me a lot, and I said: why not me? But hey, it was a decision that cost to make, but I could not not take it: I could not go through this life without knowing the truth or rather the true exercise. And now I know by my parents, was also a bit of blood.
- What do you say to them? "That was
fighters and fight under the banner may be, is always pushing the truth and maybe comes around the hand. And love. Well, I say it all together.
- Is it true that you warned your birth certificate?
-The birth certificate was not what caught my attention because in the document where it appears like I'm born in Campo de Mayo. But that was not, per se. But were prints, small marks. The country's history actually in one place and at a time when did this happen to many people. Many people who do not know. The age of my parents at the age of have me, the profession of it. And he did not see photos ...
"You went to Granny ..
me-I went to school at the Conadi because he suspected. All data were closing and soon gave me turn to the extraction of blood, and when months later I said no, for me it was "no." Because you really what you expect is "no." Not so! One said those things. But hey, if so, was also good because it was the truth. And I went to seek the truth. Two years later they called me, I do not know if two years because a lot of time consciousness does not, but they called me. It was last Friday, and said I had an interview on Monday ... I was speechless. Was a call that surprised me. Because for me it was a closed case: imagine, had been a while now I found out they were two years seemed to me less, but it was time.
- What did you think?
"When I called at first I was speechless and did not dare to ask why. For more information, they said. And then I looked up some pictures I had, I took more. And when I arrived I attended Claudia, the daughter of Estela de Carlotto, and I had a feeling that is sensed, the body speaks for itself. And I saw her body. At that point I told the story, how it was and that was my Grandmothers family waiting for me. And the truth is that I was protected because in those time you need containment, because he was afraid.
- Scared?
"Yes, it is a feeling animal, like animals when they are afraid saw that they run, that. But ... luckily it ran. I met other children with the same experience in that moment you say two or three words and you see that you are understanding, everything is weird. The Grandmothers are close and suddenly you'd see that far away, I know, you see them as your family, you say "well you're sloppy vestita.
- What happened when they entered?
-Claudia took me to a taxi to Granny, I did not understand nothing, it was very rare. Until that time was a common Monday, a Monday most of my life and suddenly I was saying, "You have three brothers who are waiting for you." Guauuuu, I said. Claudia laughed. And I can not say what happened because I feel sensations amorphous and when we saw Estela de Carlotto at the door, looked at me and suddenly I was waiting for me and I pinched. I wondered if I was living was not an accident, was not having a dream in intensive care, I wondered if Woody Allen was not spinning or making a movie nearby. Well I saw a Stella. I gave him a giant hug and say hugs and kisses, that I never gave so many hugs in my life.
- Your brothers?
"When I opened the door were 54 000 people who came over and told me:" And that is ten percent. " But when you run out of air and each person who approached me and told me "I'm just" and "I'ma friend of your father." And you start talking, you begin to mix all the names, and I saw another child or someone tells me Granny: Do not worry, because you never know who's who and my memory for names is pathetic.
- With the names of your brothers was the same?
"With my brothers took me to remember the names ... But no matter the names, nothing matters, that embrace is born of the chest. No way, no nothing. I saw there really I saw very good people. I have a feeling that is very good, do not know and it is strange that, because they are my family and I do not know. Why do I have to go through all this? And that gave me a mixture of excitement, anger, disorientation, of not understanding anything. Question, signs everywhere. Days passed and still in the air. I could not sleep the first night, the second was like a little hell. My girlfriend was fundamental, and I think if I was not with her, especially the first few days, it's like I was leaving the ground.
"It was part of the little known ....
-prints with my brothers are very strange. I went to the youngest, looked at him, I was looking at him because I never saw a person so like me, because to me it looked like fun and commentators. And my girlfriend told me to have the same teeth! And he laughed. They told me things and sometimes not heard anything and I realize it's like that I have forgotten why I said it to be in a movie. In the middle of everything. One of them said that DNA was not necessary because he recognized he had no sooner saw me, ears. And that was pretty funny after so many tears and so did not understand anything.
Martin first thing he did before his royal family was to get a picture of the mother. "I do not know why," he says but what intrigued me was she wanted to know what happened to her, how was, and well, I am slowly becoming aware and understand. I thought so, knew it would be a story, but knowing what it was are questions that have to do with questions that makes one, is so strong, thinking that after all that I could have lived out of there in, I and he did everything in a special way. "
- Did you hear anything about her?
-Family protects me a lot and I'm not full of information and that's good. And now I'm wanting to know the details. But my family it's like not to invade, I feel dizzy sometimes, I have some things, but you start to mix everything, and I need my space of loneliness. All this I take to the idea of \u200b\u200brecovering something, but to start something. Because I take it that we won thanks to all the people who were there beside me, my girlfriend, my friends tomorrow (Saturday) will meet my brothers.
"They say that your brothers are rare because they are very close.
"They're very close, and that was weird. If I had entered a family that had quilombos maybe had not been so easy, but the look and makes me happy. But let me be too careful with that because it's like now you have things in them, things they spent together, where one was not there, I say: the pucha, but I was not! I have been, and given a hand. And this: you the chips are falling very slowly. But it's nice, I'm not living like a sad, no. It's nice to have all that ugly to be with blinded eyes life is nice to know the truth and live with it and them.
When he speaks it's like all the time looking for words. "There are words," he says. "And these are the moments when one would like to be a poet now and start Musique."
