In this podcast, two historians, formerly teacher and student, share their research discoveries and family stories connected to the Spanish Civil War. Daniel Czitrom taught at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts for 41 years and Patricia Schechter currently teaches at Portland State University in Oregon. Czitrom’s book is a memoir entitled Kitchen Table History: Wrestling with my Family’s Radical Past and Schechter’s book is a study of an important mining town in Andalusia titled El Terrible: Life and Labor in Pueblonuevo, 1887-1939. Each takes a fresh look at the Spanish Civil War through the lenses of family history, politics, labor, and migration.  Their conversations explore revelations from the archives as well as the family silences which cannot and even should not be broken.
