But many don’t want to revisit this painful period of Spanish history. “In Spanish history books, there are some blank pages”, states Francisco Espinosa. “Only the side of the dictatorship has been told”. His father was killed by Franco’s men during the civil war. Now he hopes to identify his father’s body and give him a proper burial. Since Franco died more than 30 years ago, there has been a nationwide pact of silence about the atrocities committed during the civil war. Now the government wants to reopen the archives and offer compensation to the Nationalists’ victims. But these plans are reopening old wounds for the Republicans’ victims.
