Summary
"Historians refer to the Spanish Civil War as one of the bloodiest wars of the twentieth century. In 1937, at Mexico's request and offer, nearly 500 children from Spain - remembered as Los Niños de Morelia - were relocated via ship to Mexico to escape the war's violence. These children traveled across the sea without their families and were expected to return at the war's end. No one could have foreseen another world war was on the way - or that that Franco's regime would prevent the children from coming home. These enduring conflicts trapped the children in a country far from their homeland, and many never made it back."--Provided by publisherHistorians refer to the Spanish Civil War as one of the bloodiest wars of the twentieth century.
