The Tlatelolco’s night

This no-fiction story by Elena Poniatowska related the true facts that
the ex-president Gustavo Díaz Ordaz hid by many years. Also, there
are many testimonies telling their experiences on October 2, 1968.

Facts about a student’s massacre on our country were hidden for


politic benefits. So, the author describes how the students started to
rising up against the suppression and repression at schools. They
decided to express disapproval and the government didn’t accept it.

What I disagreed the most is that these young people suffered


consequences with no reason from the authorities. Nowadays, we can
talk with more liberty but there is some obstacles.

I’d recommend it to adults only because there are some graphics


pictures into the book that the periodist took at the real time of the
trouble.
