It was 28 November 1976 when Cocho , nom de guerre of Oscar Cesar Furman , militant Montoneros , disappeared into thin air along with another 30,000 disappeared in what will then be called the " War sucia " , the dirty war ,the war of infamy . Today , in 2015 , at a time of profound change in Argentine politics, Alicia Furman , sister, seventy, 39 years later still can not fit in any of the former illegal detention centers , still winces at the sound of an airplane , yet she feels a void that chases and reconstructs her memories of a collective memory because what really happened to Cocho will never be known . And it is helping the Madres de Plaza de Mayo , participating actively in evidence and judgments in court , which has silenced part of that void . Because no one ever wondered how a " hermana " felt : that disappeared . A disappearance in the disappearance : that's what I want to tell.
