Spanish Civil War Interview Series 12: Prisoners in Francoist Spain with Jessica Thorne

History of the Second World War - A podcast by Wesley Livesay - Wednesdays

On this episode of our Spanish Civil War Interview Series I was joined by Jess Thorne to discuss the treatment and experiences of prisoners during the Civil War and after. Discussing prisoners during a Civil War is always interesting because their experiences are often quite different than what is experienced by more traditional Prisoners of War. There was a political dimension for why they were imprisoned during the war, and then why they were kept in prison after the war was over and we discuss that dimension and the consequences of it.
