The Women
The fundamental issue lies neither between Republicanism and Fascism, nor between Communism and Monarchism. Mainly and simply, it is a war between the proletariat and the upper classes.
The Spanish called it 'La Causa' the cause, and it was The Cause. It was the place where the Second World War could have been stopped, because it was a try-out for both Hitler and Mussolini.
The thing that brought everything to me, was the way Germany was treating the Jews. It was like the Ku Klux Klan. So now, we're matching what is happening in Germany to the Jews to us here in the United States.
Somebody mentioned that nurses were needed in Spain, and I decided I would apply. There was one question that asked 'Why do you want to go to Spain?' And all I wrote was 'To fight against fascism,' and I was accepted.
We sailed on the Normandy, on the 19th of May, to the 21 of us sailing for Spain, there was a small undercurrent of special excitement, because most of us thought that we might never return.
I went to Spain and I became a member of the human race. I met the best people anyone ever knew. I had never seen such people before.
On the third day, the patients began to pour in. The doctors and nurses were working 40 hours without stopping, going from one major operation to the next.
The Spanish War was, doubtless, the last war in which individuals were to enter fully with their individual might. The soldier is fighting not only against an enemy, but also for some beyond.
I gather that even our own State Department has people who are not very anxious to do much for the Loyalists. Strange, how easily our pockets affect our feeling for democracy.
I remember the first Spaniard, a farmer, who said to me, 'Wait, these people will get the real war, because they're not helping us now,' and we did.
Don't believe that you're going to get away from it. Don't believe that we're going to be isolated. Be aware that we are going absolutely straight toward a Second World War.
I was sent as a Laboratory Technician, and overnight, I became a nurse. And then I felt the war, I had never done more than put a band aid on a cut or on the elbow where I took blood.
Pueblo de Hijar was constantly bombed, and this was very frightening. The church bells would ring, and we knew that the planes were overhead.
They had meetings to teach the young people what to expect when they got over there. How are you going to cope under those difficult situations?
A lone scouting plane flew over Tortosa about 10AM with bombers on its tail, and some more rubble rose as dust with the explosion. The impact of the shock paralyzed my mind.
