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 publisher.

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. Marco Alcalde and his sisters Isabel and Ana were among them. No one could have foreseen another world war was on the way, or that Franco's regime would prevent the children from coming home. As the growing children care for themselves and others, their feel their sense of home, family, and identity slipping away; their memories of Spain-- and their families-- fade. -- adapted from jacket
