From 1976 until 1983, in Argentina, the military planned to exterminate all their antagonists. For approximately 5,000 opponents of the Argentine dictatorship, "destino final" (final destination) gained an atrocious meaning: drugged, unconscious, and loaded on military planes, in what is infamously known as the "death flights", they were thrown, still alive, to the R o de la Plata, just before it reaches the Atlantic Ocean; their final, definitive destination. Just a few of their bodies were recovered. Their families are still looking for their remains and seeking punishment for the guilty. Destino Final, started in 2003 as a long-term project, and includes the search for the death flight planes, conducted worldwide by Giancarlo Ceraudo and Miriam Lewin. Desde 1976 hasta 1983 los militares argentinos llevaron adelante un plan para exterminar a todos sus opositores. Para aproximadamente 5.000 de ellos el "destino final" adquiri un significado atroz: narcotizados, inconscientes y cargados en aviones militares, eran arrojados a n vivos al R o de la Plata en su uni n con el oc ano Atl ntico, en lo que se conoce tristemente como los "vuelos de la muerte". Su destino definitivo, final. S lo algunos de sus cuerpos fueron recuperados. Sus familiares todav a est n buscando sus restos y piden castigo para los culpables. Destino Final es un proyecto de largo plazo que comenz en el 2003, e incluye la b squeda de los aviones de los vuelos de la muerte llevada adelante en todo el mundo por Giancarlo Ceraudo y Miriam Lewin.

Her investigative journalism has explored difficult issues like sexual abuse in the Catholic church and people trafficking. She published several books, including Ese Infierno, launched in Italy under the title of Le Reaparecide, with other women survivors. Miriam was a political activist during Argentina's military dictatorship and in 1977, at the age of 19, she was kidnapped and detained in a torture centre. After a year she was taken to the Navy Mechanical School (known as ESMA) in Buenos Aires where she spent another 10 months. ESMA was the largest of the many detention and torture camps in Argentina, where almost 5,000 people died. She is one of the few survivors. In 1987, Miriam testified as a witness at the trial of the leaders of the oppressive regime known as 'Trial of the Juntas'. The trial led to the dictators being convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment for their crimes against the Argentine people. Since then she has been a witness in many other trials for violation of human rights.
