The Disappeared: When History Swallows People Whole
In December 1972, Jean McConville was taking a bath in her Belfast apartment when masked intruders burst through her door. The 38-year-old widow, raising ten children alone since her husband's death from cancer, was ordered to put on her coat. As her terrified children clung to her legs, sixteen-year-old Archie tried to accompany his mother but was stopped at gunpoint. Through concrete wall openings, he watched helplessly as she was bundled into a blue Volkswagen van. Her last words - "Watch the children until I come back" - would haunt him for decades. Jean McConville never returned home, becoming one of the "disappeared" - people abducted, killed, and secretly buried by the IRA during Northern Ireland's Troubles. The trauma rippled outward: her children were separated into various institutions where some endured systematic abuse. Most shocking was the near-complete lack of police investigation, as if Jean had simply ceased to exist.
