In time for Remembrance Day, an unsettling story in Saturday's Globe about efforts that are currently being made in some sectors of Spanish society towards acknowledging the horrors of General Franco's fascist regime. But "truth and reconcilation" comes to some more easily than to others, and with atrocities having been committed within living memory, plenty of Spaniards seem happy to let sleeping dogs lie. While they may have a point, the example of Germany certainly shows that genuine atonement is possible. A very interesting article, on a country we don't often hear much about on this side of the pond.
