Author: Christine Martínez-Médale.
Last April, the Fundación Pablo Iglesias presented the book La maleta de mi madre by Christine Martínez-Médale.
This is the chronicle of Christine Martínez-Médale’s research into her mother, Concepción, and her brother Antonio, Toñín, born in Ventas prison on 17 May 1939 and probably stolen at the age of 16 months in Saturrarán prison, one of the harshest prisons of Franco’s regime. Martínez-Médale recomposes the family memory from the moment when her mother, aware of an incipient lack of memory, reveals to her the existence of a suitcase with letters and handwritten notes about her life in prison and her missing son, whom she had never spoken to her about. In these pages, the author denounces what happened to thousands of women whose children were taken away from them by the nuns under the pretext that they were dead.
