“Quien no conoce su historia está condenado a repetir sus errores.”
Paul Preston

“A fin de proteger los pilares de ese régimen, en las áreas ocupadas por los rebeldes las víctimas inmediatas no fueron solo los maestros de escuela, los masones, los médicos y los abogados liberales, los intelectuales y los líderes de los sindicatos, es decir, los posibles diseminadores de las ideas. La matanza se extendió también a quienes habrían podido recibir la influencia de sus ideas: los miembros de un sindicato, los que no iban a misa, los sospechosos de votar al Frente Popular, las mujeres que habían obtenido el sufragio y el derecho al divorcio...”
Paul Preston, El holocausto español

“Several thousand peasants were loaded at gunpoint onto lorries and deported hundreds of miles from their homes and then left without food or money to make their own way back.”
Paul Preston, The Spanish Civil War: Reaction, Revolution, and Revenge
