Since Franco didn't like the Basques he told his buddy Hitler that he could use the Basque town of Gernika for bombing practice. So on the afternoon of April 26th in 1937 for fours German planes rained bombs and bullets on the town killing hundreds of people and destroying most of the town.
I learned all about it in too much detail at the Peace Museum in Gernika. I'm sharing this tragic tale with you because I believe that remembering history is a good way to help keep terrible things like this from happening again.
Peace.
