Look, there's my Uncle Quim.
:34:15
Joaquim Figueras.
:34:28
Quim... Lola.
:34:30
- How do you do.
- How do you do.

:34:34
- Do you recognise this book?
- I certainly do.

:34:37
There's a page missing.
Do you know why?

:34:40
After the war,
:34:42
people had mixed fortunes.
:34:44
It went all right for
people over there,

:34:47
but not so well
for those of us here.

:34:51
They put everybody in jail,
:34:54
my brother Pere among them.
:34:57
So my father,
:34:59
who had this book,
:35:02
went to Burgos.
:35:04
He packed a case and went to Burgos,
:35:07
where he asked to see
:35:09
the Minister... Mr. Sánchez Mazas.
:35:13
And it seems that
:35:16
he remembered the name and said,
:35:18
"A man named Figueras?
Send him in."

:35:21
My father gave him the page
and Sánchez Mazas said,

:35:26
"Mr. Figueras,
:35:27
don't worry. When you get home,
your son will be there."

:35:30
And that's what happened.
:35:35
"Pere Figueras,
:35:36
from San Andreu del Terri,
farmer, single, 25 years of age,

:35:40
imprisoned on 27th April 1939 with
8 others from Cornellá del Terri."

:35:45
Here's the release order.
:35:47
"Release those prisoners named
here and confirm said release.

:35:51
May God preserve you. Gerona,
19th June, Year of Victory."

:35:56
Vicente Vila...
:35:57
Pedro Figueras, here it is.
