Hello, how are you? Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world.
This episode isn't comfortable. It doesn't intend to be. Today I open pages that many would like to close: dictatorships that crushed voices, crimes hidden under flags, silences that still scream. You will listen fragments of memory and analysis that make you uncomfortable. Because to remember is to resist. Because forgetting is also violence.
When we see the arrival of migrant boats (if they arrive by plane, there isn't so much complaint), xenophobes always say to send them back to their countries. Today I'm going to talk about what a deportation can mean.
During World War II, when a ship carrying Jewish refugees fleeing Nazism arrived in Cuba, the government only allowed a few to disembark. There was a mutiny and even some suicides. But in the end, it had to leave for Florida. It was called the "SS St. Louis." They were denied docking again. And the ship returned to Germany...
If this story moved you, share it. If you think there's something that shouldn't be silenced, write to me. We'll talk again in the next episode.
