A Refugee from Red Spain by Virginia McKay

"We must work harder to spread the International Revolution, even if we have to sacrifice a population of 24,000,000."

That quote is the first thing that popped up to me when I was glancing over this folder; the deliberate willingness to sacrifice millions of people in order to win or fulfill a cause.

The story goes into detail about McKay's trials and tribulations she faced in escaping from Red Spain.Interestingly enough, she chooses to ignore most of the tribulations, relating the fact that once "rescues" by these sailors, the whole notion of the horror that she had been through disappeared. It seemed like once rescued she was having a party, indulging in gifts in a new carefree life style. Here is one quote that proved to me that all of this, however, was indeed a facade:

- Radio messages had been sent to their families informing them that they had been evacuated and were "doing nicely."
