Valentina Benjamin is the great-niece of Walter Benjamin. Born in
Argentina, she is, however, of German nationality. She has worked as a
journalist in a number of countries; at present she lives in Madrid,
Spain. Her short story "El
PaísDeLosSinTumba" ("TheCountryOfThoseWithoutATomb")
is based on a real case relating to the 'disappeared' under the
Argentinian military dictatorship and is intended as a homage to Human
Rights. It won a prize at the "Hucha de Oro" international fiction
competition and has been published by Ediciones NOSTRUM (Madrid, 2003).
