Íngrid Felicitas Olderöck Benhard (1944-March 17, 2001),[2] better known as «Woman of The Dogs», was a Carabineros de Chile major who was converted to an agent of the DINA (Chilean Secret Police) in 1973. She was responsible for the Human rights violations during the first years of the Military dictatorship of Chile.[3]
Biography
[edit]Olderöck was a descendant of Nazi-affiliated Germans[4], her father came from Hamburg and her mother from Munich[5]. She emigrated to Chile with her parents and sisters. According to Nancy Guzmán, journalist and author of the book “Ingrid Olderöck: the woman with the dogs”, the future agent was raised in a very authoritarian family environment, where there was a certain contempt for Latin culture, considered less prone to order.
Human rights violations
[edit]In October 1973 Olderöck entered the DINA with the rank of captain and participated in the institution's Women's School, where around 70 women were instructed in methods of torture and repressive tactics against opponents of the military dictatorship.[3][6] Sources point out that in the exercise of her functions in the DINA, she learned of secrets related to the Project Andrea led by the Pinochet military dictatorship to manufacture and apply sarin gas against opponents.[7]
In 1974 the DINA created the first detention centers, among which was the Venda Sexy, where Olderöck would commit torture and rape by using a dog named "Volodya".
Attempted assassination
[edit]On July 15, 1981 Olderöck was the victim of an attack perpetrated at her home; she was shot in the head by a commando from the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) and as a result of this incident she retired from the Carabineros[6]. Olderöck maintained that, though carried out by the MIR, the attack had been planned by Carabineros in retaliation for her desertion. According to Nancy Guzmán, Olderöck "always insisted that the deceased General César Mendoza gave the order for her assassination and that it was Major Julio Benimelli who was in charge".[6]
Olderöck died on March 17, 2001 at the age of 57, due to an acute digestive hemorrhage. Her human rights violations thus went unpunished. She displayed madness due to the projectile lodged in her head after the attack.
Olderöck falleció el 17 a la edad de 57 años, producto de una hemorragia digestiva aguda.[2] Sus violaciones a derechos humanos quedaron así impunes.[3] En vida, aducía locura a causa del proyectil alojado en su cabeza tras el atentado.[7]
Cultural reference
[edit]The story of Olderöck served as inspiration for the animated short film Beast, directed by Hugo Covarrubias and released in 2021; the movie was nominated for an Oscar in the category of "best animated short film".[8]
