This book explores the significance of remembering the rescuers denouncing human rights crimes as well as protecting and sheltering targeted victims-including the dead-during the Cold War state violence in Latin America. In light of newly unearthed archival evidence, testimonial memories, and the continued mobilization of human rights groups to preserve Cold War memory, this timely book moves beyond the victim-perpetrator dichotomy and its discursive studies to focus on those whose moral courage and righteous acts were beacons of hope in the midst of extreme violence. Remembering Latin American "righteousness," a term used in Holocaust literature, is important in recognizing that those who resisted human rights violations and protected victims yesterday are those who often keep the collective memory of that past alive today.

"Angels in Hell: Argentina's Willing Altruists?" explores the characteristics and motivation of those who helped the persecuted during the political killings that took place in the South American country in the 1970's. The author compares Argentine rescuers to those who helped the persecuted during the Holocaust. She claims that just as there is a "banality of evil," as argued by Hannah Arendt, there is also a "banality of good." There is nothing extraordinary about Argentine rescuers. They are ordinary people who get involved in extraordinary acts. They do not have a higher morality or a broader universe of obligation than passive bystanders. Instead, what makes the former and the latter different is their social ties. The author explores the different ways in which social networks can have an effect on an individual's likelihood of getting involved in helping endeavors.
