Hi there. Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world,
This is a raw, unfiltered look at the darkest chapters in history. In each episode, I explore dictatorships, hate crimes, and regimes of terror that left indelible scars on humanity. Silenced voices, forgotten memories, and uncomfortable truths that need to be told.
When we hear about concentration camps, we think of the Nazis, but there may be one in your city or neighborhood, like mine.
The first one was located on the military grounds of the La Isleta peninsula, in the capital of Gran Canaria. It opened on July 31, 1936, with 315 prisoners; months later, 1,145 people were already incarcerated. The brutality was such that many prisoners rightly called them "punishment camps" rather than internment camps. When they weren't tortured or subjected to forced labor, they were taken to the shooting range, where they were shot.
And that concludes today's episode, see you in the next one!
If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, feel free to drop me a comment.
