journalist’s suicide.”104 The newspaper published “[t]he note with the official version of the death.”105 This was how the false version of his death was engineered.” 106 88. Clarice Herzog was informed of Vladimir Herzog’s death on the night of October 25, 1975. 107 According to the statement that Clarice Herzog gave in the 1975 military police inquiry (infra párr. XX), the persons who informed her of her husband’s death did not tell her the circumstances under which Vladimir Herzog had died.108 She also described how she went to the Institute of Legal Medicine, but neither she nor other family members were allowed to see Vladimir Herzog’s body. Clarice Herzog stated that she was not permitted to have other physicians examine the body “before it was prepared for burial according to the rites of the Jewish faith.”109 One individual from the Jewish Congregation who was conducting the funeral services, told her that: “[h]e had orders from superiors that he was not to allow [Herzog’s body to be examined by other physicians], further alleging that there were undercover police inside the hospital and that had she insisted she would have been taken into custody.” 110 Clarice Herzog also said that all she was able to see was Vladimir Herzog’s face inside the closed casket, during the wake held in the “Albert Einstein” Jewish hospital on October 26, 1975.111 On October 27, 1975, Vladimir was buried in the “Butanta Jewish Cemetery”, with “hundreds of people” in attendance.112 89. Among those attending the funeral were four journalists who were being held at the DOI/CODI/SP.113 The morning of October 27, 1975, the journalists were instructed to attend Vladimir Herzog’s funeral and, if they did, “they could even spend the night at home that night.” 114 According to one of the journalists attending the funeral, “the idea was apparently to show that the other journalists were fine.” 115 According to the testimony of journalist Rodolfo Osvaldo Konder, while at the funeral, George Benigno Jathay Duque Estrada and he learned that their names had been mentioned in the official note issued by the Second Army as having “informed on Vladimir Herzog.”116 He also stated that upon their return to the DOI/CODI/SP, they demanded “that the note be corrected,” only to be threatened by a person identified as “Dr. Paulo”. According to Konder, “Dr. Paulo” told them that “the Second Army’s note had placed them in an extremely dangerous situation, because they could at any moment be ‘executed’ by members of the Communist Party.”117 104 Relatório da Comissão Nacional da Verdade.
