Lina and the entire Sattamini-Arruda family kept extensive documentation not only during the year that Marcos was imprisoned, but for many years following his incarceration. Lina kept newspaper clippings, letters, and even scraps of Marcos’s poetry to use in writing Esquecer? Nunca Mais.

Here are links to these letters, poems, and various other pieces of Lina’s documentation.

Amnesty International’s first letter concerning Marcos, sent to Lina in the fall of 1970.

Lina’s letter to her local congressman, concerning her naturalization case.

Lina’s letter to Senator Harry Byrd, concerning her naturalization case.

Some of Marcos’s poetry, written during his imprisonment.

Lina’s ICE letter left with her daughter, Tiana, when she went to Rio to visit Marcos in prison. 

Excerpts of Marcos’s letter to Pope Paul VI, as well as a letter from Marlene de Souza Soccas. Marlene was a woman imprisoned and tortured alongside Marcos.

Zuzu Angel’s obituary, censored in a Brazilian newspaper. Often times recipes or fake advertisements were put in place of politically controversial articles as a way of censoring the newspaper’s content.
