The Federation of Forum for Memory begins exhuming a mass grave in Menasalbas (Toledo)
On Saturday July 17, work began recovery from mass graves of Franco's repression in Menasalbas (Toledo) where they are, at least 18 English democrats killed in recent days of the Civil War. This is the Trench 1, located on the outside of the cemetery wall.
This work for the Recovery of Historical Memory, is a collaboration between the National Federation of Forum for Memory and The Green Sheaf has a grant from the Ministry of the Presidency granted to the Group Relatives of the Pit No. 1 Menasalbas. It is also noteworthy extensive collaboration of the Municipality of San Martín de Montalbán. For its part, the owners of the land where the pit, have generously given permission to do the job.
The team consists of about 60 people, among whom there are archaeologists and anthropologists, historians, librarians, lawyers, photographers and dozens of volunteers. Volunteers will be present from Barcelona, \u200b\u200bMurcia, Malaga, Cordoba, Huelva, Toledo, Madrid, Segovia, Cuenca and the Canaries.
The work, expected to be extended two weeks, is coordinated by the president of the Federation of Forum for Memory, José María Pedroza.
The Saturday, July 24, is planning a great tribute walk pit.
The Federation of Forum for Memory has been working since 2002 for the recovery of individual and collective memory of all those people, families and villages hit by the Franco regime, still forgotten. There is therefore limited to the recovery of the remains of those killed, but seeks to recover social and political values \u200b\u200bof men and women who fought the Second Republic against Franco, in order that these values \u200b\u200bof equality, freedom, solidarity and social justice remain.
crimes against humanity committed by the Franco regime were never prosecuted and the criminals go unpunished. Given that the regime lasted until 1975, many criminals still Franco are old enough to be processed, so the Federation of Forum for Memory understands that, like the English Justice pursues crimes against humanity elsewhere in the world, should do the same with the criminals of the dictatorship. Keep in mind that criminals have been prosecuted against humanity for acts committed in other countries in times when there was still the Franco dictatorship. The Pinochet case is a good example because its dictatorship coincides with that of Franco between 1973 and 1975.
Repression in Menasalbas
Menasalbas Francoist repression resulted in the death of many residents who were shot in different parts of the state, died in prison as a result of the inhuman conditions in which they were and ten villagers who had taken the road of exile, were interned in Nazi death camps, of whom eight died.
Investigations to date indicate that 18 of these residents were murdered and buried in a mass grave outside the wall adjoining the town cemetery. Most were villagers, members of the Popular Army of the Republic, following the collapse of the front end of March 1939 returned home and were arrested when they entered Menasalbas, to be shot almost immediately.
