Description

In part two of The Spanish Holocaust, we speak with the relatives of the those murdered in the Spanish Civil War who tell of the brutality and their attempts to locate the bodies of their loved ones who were murdered. In this documentary, we see how Francisco Franco’s Fascist troops took out their wrath on civilians. Many mass grave sites are known only to locals; virtually none of them bears a plaque or any other indication of commemorate the killings. In Leon, the Truth Association has concentrated efforts on exhuming bodies from mass graves. The relatives of the victims complain it should be the government not volunteers exhuming the bodies. The wall of silence erected by Franco’s dictatorship has been continued by the current Spanish government.
