Here, I talk to archaeologist Juan Luis Castro from 'Foro por la Memoria', who comments on the scale of the repression that followed Franco’s victory in Seville.

70 years ago, the military coup against the II Republic escalated into a Civil War that would last three years and kill 500,000. Franco’s fascist dictatorship would span over four decades of indiscriminate state terror, killing thousands more. Yet, conversations about these crimes never took place after his death. Instead, an institutionalized amnesia crippled any efforts by the vanquished to locate their thousands “disappeared”. The exhumation of this legacy is the ultimate aim of this project.
