Grandmother of Plaza de Mayo Blanca Díaz de Garnier died Sunday in the city of Concepción del Uruguay, Entre Ríos. After a 40 year-search, Díaz de Garnier was reunited with her granddaughter, Adriana Garnier Ortolani, in December 2017. Díaz de Garnier’s son, Edgardo Garnier, was kidnapped in February 1977, and has never been found. It was during this ordeal that they met other Mothers and Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. “Somebody told me my parents weren’t my real parents,” Adriana said in a TV spot for the Grandmothers.
