Holding On, Fighting Back: The Long Road Home to Spain—in Spanish with English Subtitles

After the fall of France in World War II, the hardships of the Spanish Civil War refugees grew worse. In this program, survivors from those desperate days openly talk of their ordeals and victories: repression and reprisals in Franco’s Spain; suffering in French internment camps; deportation to Nazi concentration camps; meritorious service with the French Resistance and Allied forces; and, after the war, their lives in exile until, after Franco’s death, they could finally go home. Graphic newsreel footage places each story in context. Not available in French-speaking Canada. An RTVE Production. (Spanish with English subtitles, 58 minutes)
