Colonia Dignidad case

Vexler was one of the first journalists to investigate and publish a series of denunciations about the conditions that existed in the former Colonia Dignidad, in co-authorship with Osvaldo Murray and Juan Ehrmann.[4][5][6] These incited the first judicial inquiry into the colony between 1966 and 1968, without conclusive results.[5] Such reports appeared in Ercilla during the 1960s:

  • Vexler, Erica; Muray, Osvaldo; Ehrmann, Juan (30 March 1966). "Tras los Muros de la 'Dignidad'" [Behind the Walls of the 'Dignidad']. Ercilla. Torrente, Heliodor.
  • Vexler, Erica; Ehrmann, Juan; Muray Q., Osvaldo (6 April 1966). "La Colonia del Terror". Ercilla.
