Spain was also Fascist at the time, until 1978.

I saw Guernica in Montreal in the 1970s, because Picasso had sworn that Guernica would not return to Spain until democracy did.

I don't think it's an accident that you didn't know this, or any fault of your own. You were deliberately not taught this.

I met a young American librarian many years ago who told me, "In one of my first classes in University, I said something in class. Everyone laughed at me, and I suddenly realized that the US had not won the Vietnam War."

This was a very well-read person, not ignorant, who had simply been taught a lie.

Have many claps for being willing to learn new things!
