Aside\u003cbr\u003e from a brief lifting of the forced lid of silence in the 1950s, the rest of the world\u003cbr\u003e remains ignorant of the genocide that, closely modelled on Hitler's methods\u003cbr\u003e in Nazi Germany, led to the post-war slaughter of tens of thousands by firing\u003cbr\u003e squad or extra-legal methods buried, unidentified, by the hundreds in mass\u003cbr\u003e graves, many of which are only now being uncovered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Damnatio Memoriae, supported by dozens of eye-witness interviews, addresses\u003cbr\u003e this dark period in great detail as it sheds light on the repression that destroyed\u003cbr\u003e the lives of hundreds of thousands of dissenting men and women imprisoned\u003cbr\u003e for many years in more than 180 concentration camps, countless prisons and\u003cbr\u003e slave labour workers battalions where many died from torture, starvation and\u003cbr\u003e disease. Today, the surviving relatives of this half of the Spanish population, \u003cbr\u003e especially children who were taken from their parents to be re-educated, are\u003cbr\u003e attempting to identify the remains of the lost members of their families, give\u003cbr\u003e them some dignity in death, and obtain some closure to their pain.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Magdalena Gorrell Jaen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1970072350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781970072358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Leaf Media, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.89lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Magdalena Gorrell Jaen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940378476799,"sku":"9781970072358","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_1c5f360b-ccf4-4c11-a25e-0b42f303a732.jpg?v=1681446854","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/damnatio-memoriae-volume-i-magdalena-gorrell-jaen-9781970072358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
