I respect you all, as well as everyone that passed through such painful situation. Also we had dark years here in Latin America. Paraphrasing Fernando Pessa, the Portuguese poet, "So many mothers wept, so many sons prayed in vain! So many brides remained unmarried..." - Torture never more!!!
Such a non-descript doorway, but I guess that was the point, wasn't it. May sad times never return.
Fernando Pessoa...
And yes, may sad times never returns.

Matchless phrase ;)
For information of those who asked - the address of the building is Brivibas (Freedom) Street No. 61, but the door is actually facing Stabu (Pillar) street. See it at the Google Maps here.
