I generally don't like talking about the Civil War: it inmediately takes you to speak about politics and that usually ends by confronting people with irreconcilable results: My belief is that our country still lacks of a clear and neutral explanation of this devastating misfortune that created so much suffering.
My opinion on the topic is very simple: both sides committed an awful lot of crimes and atrocities, and there were no good an evil as factions, only good and evil as individuals.
Most people only changed sides in order to survive.
Of course there was a coup d'état from one side, but the legitimate government couldn't avoid ending as a toy of some other interests, what finally gave way to the same atrocities.
What nobody can deny is that in the thirties, there was a huge work done in order to educate people and also to make the country evolve, together with a renaissance of the Literature with the so called "Generation of 1927", also called "The Silver Age" of Spanish Literature. And what happened afterwards, was an unprecedented backward movement.
That is my belief. And here you will see a humble -and beautiful- homage to a school teacher, who did for his pupils exactly the same as Janusz Korczak did in Poland a little bit later...
We must be thankful to the good teachers we probably have had.
