   Maybe you didn't know this but my parents lived during the Fascism in Spain. Franco's dictatorship ended in 1975.
   That's few years ago.

   My grandparents lived during the Civil War.
   My grandfather lost his home because of a bombing.

   Now, let me tell you something:
   I don't want the fascism word to disappear, I don't want people to forget what happened.

   Memory is great thing, it helps to avoid the errors of the past.

   Don't censor what happened as it can hurt someone. Remember, respect and honor.

     @ekaitzzarraga  My grandfather spent his childhood following my grand-grandfather from prison to prison during the civil war. After the war, they exchanged dolls for food.
     My other grandfather, when he started to see the purges and the killings, he just left town and lived with my grandma in the hut they had next to their crop field... people who were not farmers would sometimes drop by asking for some "potato peels" or whatever.
     My grandmother, would with her mom from town to town, trying to exchange dolls for food.
