The terrorist attack on a Jewish Community Center,  Asociación Mutual Israelita Argentina or AMIA, on July 18, 1994 resulted in 80 deaths and over 300 injuries.

Justice has never been found and over the years there have been various accusations made. The murals painted on the original AMIA location and in Plaza Houssay pay homage to the victims and this continued demand for justice.
