Diana was born on October 31, 1951, into a Jewish but non-practicing family, so her education was broad and rich in the possibilities offered by public and private education at the time.

Mientras while they lived in the center, she attended the French Lyceum, but once the family moved to Malvín she began attending public school No. 81.

When she was two years old, her father died and her mother Flora had to face the difficulties of supporting a family at a time when working women were not yet very supported.

A few years later, her mother remarries, so the family increases with two brothers (Mauricio and Carlos) 10 and 5 years older than her and a year later with the arrival of another girl, Anita.

Diana grows up in Malvin, in a warm environment, with a lot of family coming and going from the house all the time, neighbors and beach summers.

From school 81 he goes to the neighborhood high school, No. 10, and from there to IAVA. Since she was little, she showed great affinity with the art of declamation, an interest that her mother happily encouraged. He studied for several years, having annual performances at the Sala Verdi. at the end of his studies.

While attending public high school and beginning to become aware of the social and political situation of the country, he became interested in these topics.

Around that time, the idea arose in the family that Diana was going to spend some time in Israel, something in which she also showed some interest, but these plans were cut short when she needed to have an operation and were no longer taken up.

Once in high school, he began to serve in the Fer 68 and later when the FA base committees spread throughout the city, he also began to serve in them, taking his sister Anita, the housekeeper Celia and his little dog Bichito. to clean garbage dumps and other jobs that the committee offered to the neighborhood.

Part of the family was Mrs. Celia, a domestic worker who had lived with the family since Diana was a teenager. The two formed a strong bond since Celia was not that much older than Diana...

"...A very strong bond was created between them, Diana never considered her an employee, she was always a colleague.

Celia still remembers Diana's enormous heart, her generosity and her dedication. Even though she was raised in a home where nothing was missing, she was always thinking about those who didn't have enough to eat. For her brother Carlos's wedding, Diana is made a party dress so luxurious that she said with sadness: Everyone who could eat with what this is worth...... With shining eyes, Celia says that Diana was the best person he met. They talked a lot, when he spoke he was passionate, he told her about Sendic, Che, he liked Los Olimareños and popular singing. She remembers with sadness the Sendic book that Diana gave her and that she had to burn, with great pain, at the time when raids were the order of the day. Diana was his sidekick…”

Her sister Ana tell us:

"While studying Psychology at the Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, she opened a kindergarten in her home, since her interest in this subject was focusing on child psychology and the healthy development of childhood. She continued to invest her time and energy in this garden until she was taken prisoner.

In the month of July 1972, she was arrested at her home and taken to Infantry Battalion No. 13 where she remained detained for a year and a half.

Her letters from the barracks show how committed she was to supporting her colleagues in a very painful situation like the one they were experiencing and at the same time, trying not to inflame more violence. Her comments in these letters about the soldiers who imprisoned them showed a great understanding of the human psyche and great compassion as well. I saw them as human beings involved in a plot that they did not always have the opportunity to choose.These thoughts had a great impact on me, and years later I chose to follow this humanist example instead of armed struggle.

In November of '73, they gave her freedom since they couldn't burden her with anything. The time he spent at home was not easy, on the one hand reintegrating into a very different reality from the one he lived in the barracks, on the other hand into a political and social climate that had also changed a lot, for the worse.

The moment came when, while the military was taking some of her released colleagues back to prison, it became clear to her that she had to leave the country if she did not want to return there.

She left home with a small backpack so as not to attract attention and from then on the family had little communication with her. He left behind loved ones broken with uncertainty and pain."
