Two years after a CIA-assisted coup overthrew the democratically-elected president of Chile, Kathleen Osberger, a Notre Dame graduate and lay volunteer, went to Santiago to teach in a Catholic grade school. Upon arrival she was told a secret: the religious she would live with sheltered dissidents targeted by Pinochet’s secret police. Soon events crescendo, and Osberger is handed a blindfold, a warrant, and must go on the run. Join us for this author’s reflection on the inspiring witness to the Chilean people, the Catholic Church and the modern human rights movement.
