LIFE AS A REPUBLICAN

At the end of September, 1945 and after a few years of suffering, seeing how Europa was devastated, with thousands of dead men, injured people and especially after seeing a concentration camp where one wonders up to where there can come the savagery of the human being, I return to join with what stays of my family and friends determined to begin a new life at liberty and tranquility.

Remembering how everything began: that September 1, 1939 I was together with my father and other many Spanish in the doors of the field in which we were sheltered in France after the civil war finished so many of us had to escape from fascist; the conversation suddenly stopped when in the radio it was heard that the German army had invaded Poland, we all think immediately on how many time would passed until these events will affect directly to us since Hitler's anxieties were the control and the occupation of the whole Europe.

The days were passing slowly while all we were dependent on the information of the Geman troops in the war, lamentably on May 10, 1940 they invaded France and we all decide that we could not be stopped before the advance of the Nazi and less after suffering the fascism in Spain for what we put in agreement to fight for the freedom of the people.

We could never imagine the suffering that we all were going to suffer.
