I also understood he saved the lives of thousands of Jews - sheltering or giving visas to them, or giving them sanctuary? (sorry I don’t remember the details, but he quietly saved many) - so credit where credit is due.

Is it true that Fransisco Franco saved Jews during world war 2 in Spain?

The fact is Francisco Franco received an AWARD from B’nai B’rith in 1965 for “Good Treatment of Jews” during the Nazi era. He used a 1924 Spanish law to grant citizenship and passports to roughly 50,000 Jews throughout territories wrongfully held by Nazis to do so, extracting a considerable number from concentration camps, and forcing Nazis to return their possessions to them, or make restitution. He also, of course, granted sanctuary as the head of a neutral country, to ALLIED MILITARY PERSONNEL who made their way to Spain. Spain and Franco haters may be blinded by their sentiments, but that is the truth. Franco would have been too busy raising Spain back up after it lost 1/23rd of her population in a bloody civil war, and keeping Nazi Germany at bay to object to meshuggeh Nazis attempting to link Guanches (ancient Egyptian UaShems-those who rebelled, those who attempted to rebel) to Aryans or Atlantis. My mtDNA is from Canary Islands (U6b); my citizenship is American; my religion is Godfearer.
