This is one of the first things I point to when people ask me about Franco's Spain. 6,000 mass graves in a country under 200,000 square miles (for reference: Texas is 260,000 square miles)
El #MapaFosasRTVE es el primer mapa audiovisual con las 6.000 fosas comunes de la guerra civil y el Franquismo.
Los restos de más de 17.000 víctimas se han podido recuperar, pero otras 12.000 personas podrían ser aún exhumadas.
