Paine Memorial
The Paine Memorial is a memorial site built in Paine, a small rural community located twenty miles south of Santiago, Chile. The site commemorates the lives of citizens who were either abducted or unlawfully arrested and subsequently killed by the right-wing military dictatorship directed by Augusto Pinochet from 1974 to 1990. The existence of the memorial is a very overdue national acknowledgment of this massacre that occurred in Paine. It represents the need for reconciliation between the Chilean government and those the government has brutally silenced in the past. The goal is to achieve recovery and progress for the three generations of Paine citizens affected by the massacre.〔Hite, Katherine and Collins, Catherine, ''Memorial Fragments, Monumental Silences and Re-Awakenings in Twenty-First Century Chile.''

==Physical description==
The structure is located on a square plot of land with a multi-leveled, stone foundation covered in grey and beige pebbles. There are 930 wooden poles rising out of this foundation, like a "timber forest". Each of the 930 poles represents one descendant, either of the "second generation" (the children of the victims) or the "third generation" (grandchildren of the victims) of one of the people lost in the Paine massacre. There are 1000 spots for poles, but 70 of these spots contain not a pole, but a personalized mosaic for each victim lost in the Paine massacre. The personalized mosaics use symbols and images of the loved one's favorite things to commemorate their lives an personalities.
