This man is Pedro Matta, a survivor of the torture camp Villa Grimaldi that was in place during the dictatorship of General Pinochet in Santiago. He was a strong enough man to stand in the camp's memorial and tell us of the atrocities that occurred to him and his friends there, which I am sure is no small feat. His genuine love and passion for sharing his heart with us impacted me in ways I cannot describe in words, but I will summarize by saying that my heart is softer and my mind more aware since meeting him. He is a man I will always respect and is the centerpiece of a memory that will never flee from my soul.
