Many children and people was been refugees, as well in during the II WW. I remember when I was a child an atmosphere of mystery around certain things, nobody would talk about. I remember a family who had a refugied child a young girl, blonde, from Austria, and I was asking who is? the explanations was always not precise? remember that Franco was supported the Nazis and Fascists?. years of horror!
