Or maybe there is.
Paul Schmelzer, author of blog "Eyeteeth: A Journal of Incisive Ideas" makes a point on his post "Smile, you're in hell".
Here you have what he says:
Giselle just dropped off this ad for Tourismo Madrid, torn from a travel magazine. The headline seems to suggest viewing Picasso's Guernica, a visceral depiction of Franco's 1937 massacre of 1600 civilians in the Basque city of the same name, is something to grin about.
I agree, nothing to grin about.
But there is something positive, someone is at least counting the Basque casualties in the conflict.
They remained quite forgotten for a long time, just count how many Basques (or Roma for that matter) appear in the slew of movies about the Holocaust.
