The Spanish Holocaust - Part One
Description
The first of two documentaries that tell the horrors of the Spanish Civil War and the Franco dictatorship that followed. During both the Spanish Civil War and the following dictatorship, the Francisco Franco regime justified its repression by pointing to the atrocities committed by the Reds against the Nationalists. But the truth is that Spanish generals were plotting a coup d’état ever since the election of February 1936 in an attempt to overthrow the legally elected government. The violence was not just limited to a coup, instead a strategy based on terror and repression was dreamt up to achieve the generals’ evil ends.
