Franco’s dictatorship, one of the longest and bloodiest in 20th century Europe, has been shrouded in silence by Spain since his death, more than 30 years ago. In December 2007, the Historical Memory Law was passed despite controversy. The Spanish government at last sought to lift the veil from this period and do justice to the hundreds of thousands of victims of Franco, José-Luis Peñafuerte, himself a descendant of exiles, examines this suppressed memory to open a window against forgetting. The pieces of this incomplete puzzle in Spain’s collective conscious are still many: the mass graves, the concentration camps, the prisons, the roads to exile, the still vivid traces of Franco.
