Amazon.com description: Product Description:
A combination of information from the archives and the memories of witnesses, this book sheds light on an obscure chapter of World War II history. In the German-occupied France of 1940, those fleeing the Nazis sought refuge and freedom in northern Africa or in the Americas, but fugitives had to overcome one last obstacle before reaching their sanctuary: they had to pass through Spain. This fascinating historical account relates the frequently tragic, occasionally wryly comic vicissitudes of 23 people who, for various reasons, ended up in Spanish jails between 1940 and 1945 as they tried to find freedom.

 

Una combinación de información proveniente de los archivos y de las memorias de testigos, este libro exclarece un capítulo poco conocido de la historia de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. En 1940 en la Francia ocupada por los alemanes, aquellas personas que huían de los nazis buscaban refugio y libertad en el norte de África o en las Américas, pero los fugitivos tenían que sobrepasar un último obstáculo antes de llegar a su santuario: tenían que pasar por España. Este fascinante relato histórico cuenta las vicisitudes frecuentemente trágicas y ocasionalmente mordazmente cómicas de 23 personas que, por diferentes razones, se encontraron en cárceles españolas entre 1940 y 1945 mientras intentaban conseguir la libertad.
