13 months in Fascist Prisons.

Taken prisoner at Ijar, on March 
12th 1938 we were marched for 20 
hours without water at the side of
1500 prancing horses raising clouds 
of dust, adding to our misery thereby.
Arriving at Pueblo De Ijar we were 
placed in the third floor of a 
building with many others with 
practically no sanitary conditions,
and with very little food where 
we were held for 3 days while many 
discussions took place among the offic-
ials as to whether we were to be shot 
or held for exchange. Finally we were 
loaded into trucks and taken to Camin-
real[?], spending one night in an old factory.
The following morning we were packed 
into box cars which had recently been 
used for transporting cattle evidenced 
by the fact of having about 4 inches 
of wet dung on the floor. We were 
destined to remain 3 days and nights
