Hello, how are you? 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.
With this historical memory law we have in Spain, I don't know why there isn't more emphasis on the need to visit them. Educational centers could organize activities to visit them and thus raise powerful awareness against hate.
Besides, there's no need to leave Spain: we have enough centers of horror to deal with all of this, for example, Fyffes in Tenerife, which were warehouses used as a detention center and concentration camp on the island of Tenerife during the Spanish Civil War and the postwar period by the Francoist side.
It operated as a true concentration camp, and like many others, the "living" conditions were horrendous. Poor nutrition and poor hygiene led to epidemics that decimated the incarcerated population. There were also psychological punishments: mandatory attendance at religious classes and Mass (led by the chaplain), fascist rites, and fascist hymns.
And with that, I conclude today's episode. See you in the next one!
If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, please leave me a comment.
