Volume 2: Crushing the vanquished

Although people may talk about the many cases of genocide throughout history, they never speak of the Francoist genocide, mention of which has been vetoed until today by its perpetrators. The history is there and the deeds are there, not just for the Spanish people to see, but for the world at large to discover, as historians speak of the primary need to address the great amount of present-day hostility towards the history of the Francoist repression, his crushing of the vanquished. The fanaticism of those who do not wish to know.

One might convince 21st century readers, when through information and culture, they and the Spanish people have espoused the reality of the facts. When they accept that there is a problem with the political right-wing’s extremely conservative stance towards Franco’s intractible policy to crush the vanquished that has been handed down without interruption to this day. The obstinacy of the Right against any research into the history of the civil war, is a closing of ranks, a question of preventing people from knowing exactly what occurred under Franco, a project to destroy all memory of that time, to throw more soil over the graves of the victims and to wipe out more than half a century of Spanish history.
