Bergara and Deba fall into the hands of the Francoist army

88
years ago

22 September 1936,

Bergara and Deba fall into the hands of the Francoist army. In both localities, arrests and persecution began from the very beginning. An example of this is extra-judicial shooting. For this reason, hundreds of people fled these villages. Francoists committed great abuses in both towns. In Deba, for example, Catherine Gascon, 53 and 65 years old, and Eugenia Galdona, lived in war, and as revenge, the Francoists cut off the hair of these two women, made castor oil to drink, marched, humiliated, arrested and fused in the village.
