It was a year ago I have been waiting for watching a Spanish film about the events. I had read before this horrible chapter of the history of Spain, and even watched docs in the History Channel, but I dind't have the time to watch the film quietly, to study any speech, any movement of the actors and the camera.
For those of you who don't know anything about I recomend to watch the film, if you can find it, outside Spain it's nearly impossible, but in DVD it has subtitles in English and Portuguese, and if it is still implossible it remains the P2P net.
The story is about 13 girls that died after the Spanish Civil War(1936-1939), you can find more information in the wikipedia link below:

The thing is that the film reflects all the repression that the Republicans suffered from the fascists. Modern revisionists historians, with Pio Moa in front, can say wathever they want: that the war was started by the republicans, that the republicans killed as much as the rebels. I don't mind, the truth is that thousands of people died after the War, that most of them were innocent people, that the winners assassinated people who weren't guilty. Like the thirteen roses thousans of people suffered in jails, in graveyard walls or just outside the road.
They can argue the killed in Paracuellos. I just want to remember that this happened during the War, with the troops near Madrid and with the jails full of insurgents willing to join the enemies. The government in Madrid needed to do something urgently. They couldn't know what was going to happen.
But, on the other side Franco and his friends planned a war of annihilation, conceived to leave corpses, not prisioners. And even more. When the war finished the Dictator and his rats coninued killing people, some of then "dangerous enemies", but in most cases innocent people, only guilties of having a different idea, among them the 13 roses:Carmen Barrero Aguado, Martina Barroso García, Blanca Brissac Vázquez, Pilar Bueno Ibáñez, Julia Conesa Conesa, Adelina García Casillas, Elena Gil Olaya, Virtudes González García, Ana López Gallego, Joaquina López Laffite, Dionisia Manzanero Salas, Victoria Muñoz García, and Luisa Rodríguez de la Fuente.
May the history never forget them
