Paris (France), Feb 10 (EFE), (Camera: Josep Puig).- After publishing her book "La Nueve" where she claimed that the liberation of Paris in World War II was led by Spanish republicans, Spanish journalist Evelyn Mesquida now focuses on the lives of the community of Spanish exiled who fought the Nazis with the French resistance. FOOTAGE AND SOUNDBITES OF SPANISH JOURNALIST AND WRITER EVELYN MESQUIDA, AUTHOR OF "AND NOW, RETURN TO YOUR HOUSES":"The Spaniards began the resistance in France in 1939, not in 1942.""They created groups of foreign workers that were sent to different places so they could occupy the needed job positions. They sent them to factories, for example in Toulouse, they sent them to aircraft, armament factories...""They always talk about the three tanks that entered (the city). All French students know the name of those tanks.""But the ones who entered before were called Guadalajara, the second one Teruel, the third one Belchite.""In every place, women were the ones who, with bikes or on foot, were moving from one place to another. They were kidnapped, tortured, killed or sent to the camps...Many of them were sent to the German concentration camps. There were camps only for women but, even in Mauthausen, there were women. We normally talk about men in Mauthausen because the majority were men, but they brought women too."
