In this episode, leading historian Antonio Cazorla-Sánchez talks about the Virtual Museum of the Spanish Civil War that he co-founded, the only museum in the world completely dedicated to the war. He also pays tribute to the women who kept alive the memory of family members lost under Franco's repression in his home town of Almería, Spain.Visit the Virtual Museum of the Spanish Civil War at https://www.vscw.ca/

In episode six, distinguished literary scholar Michael Ugarte describes the career of his grandfather, Artemia Precioso Garcia (1891-1945), a well known Spanish writer and free thinker who served in political leadership during the Second Republic.  Ugarte's recent translations of important Spanish novels by Elena Forún and Donato Ndongo into English are also discussed. 

There is the book you want to write. Then there is the book you ended up writing. The co-hosts reflect on their historians’ journey and the sometimes stubborn, sometimes sacred silences they encountered along the way.
