57 Basque Republican prisoners for enslavement in Seville died in train accident

87
years ago

19 November 1937,

57 Basque Republican prisoners destined to enslave in Seville died in a train accident. In total, 72 people died in the accident. The cause of the accident remains to be clarified and no remains have been found buried in the local cemetery.

In 2009, filmmaker Sabin Egilior recalled this story in the documentary The Long Journey, in which his family honored the dead on that train.

Franco used slave labor in public infrastructure to, besides humiliating the enemy, obtain economic benefits and, among others, build railroads and roads, also in Euskal Herria. Thousands were forced prisoners.
