The Children Stolen by War
Domingo recounts surviving the 1986 Dos Erres massacre in Guatemala as a six-year-old, after which he was taken to a Kaibil military base and later raised by a soldier. The story places his experience within the broader disappearance and separation of children during the civil war, with families still seeking answers. Human-rights groups describe such removals as forced disappearances or abductions, while the Army denies that taking children was institutional policy and says any cases were isolated. Psychologist Marco Antonio Garavito is helping trace missing children and has connected 60 families with information; the search remains difficult amid persistent fear and distrust.
