Marthaussën Speech

Two people with a dark past came on tuesday for making us understand what were the nazi ideas like. They told us that jew people were not the only ones who suffered in the Hitler times. Spain was a very hostile place on 1939. The war had just ended and the republican politicians were bannished from Spain. General and "caudillo" by that time Francisco Franco told Hitler that there were no Spanish people out from Spain. So, Hitler caught as many republicans as he could and made them be treated like jews. Their fathers left Spain on 1939 and went to France. Unluckily France had just been invaded by Hitler's troops and unluckily as well they were caught and brought to the Marthaussën. One of those man was very weak for the hunger and the cold so he went directly to the gas chamber. The other one was brutally murdered a year after by a gasoil injection directly to the heart. They told us what they knew about the life in Marthausën. Nazi's were (with no pardon) a group of sons of b**ches. They threatened them constantly and they governed them with the horror and the pain. They chose random people diarily to kill them by different ways. All of that killing ways were brutal and they involved a lot of pain. The field was built for having 3000 people inside it, and it was occuped for 15000 people. Nazis didn't left the write to their families until 1943, 2 years before the end of all that shit. One of the two people who came had the first letter that his father wrote them before going to the field, when he was still in prison. He tried to read it but he couldn't, there were so many feelings on that fragile piece of paper, too much stories, too much interrogants,.... He could just read the last sentence that was the only thing he has always been thinking about for the last 60 years, the last sentence was "I'm afraid they're going to bring us to somewhere, but I can't explain it to you, otherwise I wouldn't be able to send this letter". His mother thought the worst, and unfortunately she probably guessed. I asked them what did they feel the first time they went to Marthaussën field, and they answered that the first thing that came to their heads was "my father stepped this stairs, he was burned in here and murdered in there...". Their eyes were wet while they pronnounced those words, they were very corageous to share that with us. After that dy, they visited the field every year, and they made a monument for the thousands of Spanish people that had been murdered in there. They have never had any suport from the government, and they have never complained about nothing. The only politicians that did something for them were Jordi Pujol, who went there twice with her wife, and Jose Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, who went there once as well. There are two flgs in the monument: the republican one and the normal one. They say that if people who dead there were republicans their souls ight lie under their flags.
