Book Details
At the end of the Spanish Civil War, the government of Franco's "New Spain" launched a complex and Machiavellian system of repression, directed against all those republican prisoners who had lost the war. From that moment on, the hundreds of thousands of prisoners (Republican or not), suffered in their flesh - literally - the ordeal of forced labor, internment in Concentration Camps or prisons and in certain cases, directly death.
At the end of the Spanish Civil War, the government of Franco's "New Spain" launched a complex and Machiavellian system of repression, directed against all those republican prisoners who had lost the war. From that moment on, the hundreds of thousands of prisoners (Republican or not), suffered in their flesh - literally - the ordeal of forced labor, internment in Concentration Camps or prisons and in certain cases, directly death.
Although the vast majority of cases, the reprisals belonged to political parties, trade unions and other left-wing organizations, some prisoners, practicing Catholics, and trained in the Piarists, were not spared either.
This is the story of Enrique, one of those prisoners, who in 1936, at the age of 20, was forced to participate in a Civil War, instead of continuing his medical studies at the University. During the next 20 years, he did not cease in his efforts to finish his degree and although he did not fire a single shot, because he made war working in a hospital, he was formed a Summary Military Trial, he was sentenced to twelve years and one day for "helping the rebellion", he suffered internment in Concentration Camps, prisons, Workers Battalion to perform forced labor, and all that despite being Catholic and right-wing. I was simply on the wrong side at the least opportune time.
