The Kidnapped Truth, The Mystery of Jesús de Galíndez (La Verdad Secuestrada, El Misterio de Jesús de Galíndez)

Latin America has suffered under fascism throughout its history, and right-wing dictators have made a strong negative impact on the region throughout several decades of the region's existence. These, perhaps, have been the more bloodthirsty of past and present dictators, willing to harm citizens to effectively further their goals. One of the most terrible dictators Latin America ever had was Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, who we featured in a past season of the Learn Spanish with Stories podcast, but this episode isn't centered on him - it tells the mysterious, chilling tale of Jesús de Galíndez, a Spanish intellectual who stood up to fascism in both Europe and Latin America, before disappearing... forever. In this episode, we attempt to understand the events surrounding his disappearance, what happened to him later, and what legacy this brave man left behind in a world of darkness.
