Carlos Hilu, 36, headed the AMIA Security Service, known for his large stature, humor, and skill in impersonations. He was a devoted husband and father of three daughters, Denise, Maia, and Abi, sharing morning goodbyes and playful evenings with them. Mourning his father's recent passing, Carlos observed Jewish tradition by growing a beard. On the morning of July 18, 1994, he began work early, coordinating security amidst renovations. At 9:53 a.m., a car bomb struck the AMIA building, while Carlos and his team were managing entry and exit at the reception.
