Abstract

This article examines the use of forced labour in Republican Spain during the civil war. Although much has recently been written on Francoist camps, very little research has been undertaken on their Republican counterparts. As a consequence the significance of Republican camps has not been recognised. Although some historians argue that the Republicans used forced labour only in a desperate attempt to avoid military defeat, this article demonstrates that labour camps were an integral aspect of Republican ‘popular justice’. Work, it was argued, would redeem ‘fascists’ by allowing them to contribute to the economic reconstruction and transformation of Spain.

‘travaille et garde l'espoir’: les camps de travail forcé républicains pendant la guerre civile espagnole

Cet article analyse l'utilisation du travail forcé dans l'Espagne républicaine durant la Guerre Civile. Tandis qu'on a récemment beaucoup écrit sur les camps franquistes, peu de recherches ont été effectuées du côté républicain. Ainsi, l'importance des camps républicains n'a pas été reconnue. Même si certains historiens défendent la thèse que les Républicains n'ont eu recours au travail forcé que dans un effort désespéré pour éviter la défaite militaire, cet article démontre que les camps de travail faisaient partie intégrante de la ‘justice populaire’ républicaine. Ils soutenaient que le travail permettait aux ‘fascistes’ de se racheter par leur contribution à la reconstruction économique et à la transformation de l'Espagne.

‘arbeite und verlier die hoffnung nicht’: die republikanischen zwangsarbeitslager während dem spanischen bürgerkrieg

Dieser Artikel erforscht die Anwendung der Zwangsarbeit im republikanischen Spanien während des Bürgerkrieges. Obwohl in letzter Zeit viel über die Arbeitslager Francos geschrieben wurde, sind ihre republikanischen Pendants kaum erforscht. Folglich ist die Bedeutung der republikanischen Lager nicht anerkannt worden. Auch wenn gewisse Historiker argumentieren, dass die Republikaner nur auf die Zwangsarbeit zurückgriffen, um in einem letzten verzweifelten Versuch die militärische Niederlage abzuwenden, zeigt dieser Artikel auf, dass die Arbeitslager ein integraler Bestandteil der republikanischen ‘Volksjustiz’ waren. Sie vertraten die Meinung, dass die Arbeit die ‘Faschisten’ erlösen würde indem es ihnen erlaube zum wirtschaftlichen Wiederaufbau und der Verwandlung Spaniens beizutragen.

Gaceta de Madrid, 26 Aug. 1936. The Catalan government, which under the terms of the 1932 Statute had control over the administration of justice, created its own tribunals on 26 August.

67 The dominance of political appointees was also apparent in the composition of the popular tribunals created in August 1936 which tried more serious cases. Although each tribunal comprised three career judges, guilt or innocence was decided by a jury nominated by Popular Front organizations.

84 An earlier draft of the decree was more explicit. Declaring that the ‘decongestion’ of prisons was an ‘urgent necessity’, it stated that forced labour was reserved for those convicted of rebellion, as well as those who ‘spiritually adhered to the [rebel movement], [and] carried out acts of opposition before or after [the rebellion] ‘. AGGCE, PS Madrid, 2050/4627.

85 The extent to which Francoist policymakers based their redemption programme on the Republican model is a question that deserves further examination. That Francoists analysed their opponents’ repressive legislation is suggested by the fact that Republican decrees relating to the elimination of ‘enemies’ in the teaching profession in 1936 can be found among papers dealing with their own purge of ‘red’ teachers. Morente, Francisco, La depuración del magisterio nacional (1936–1943) (Barcelona: Ámbito Ediciones, 1997), 189Google Scholar. It is certainly the case that Republican policymakers scrutinised the way in which their adversaries used forced labour; a copy of the May 1937 decree establishing that work was a ‘duty/obligation’ for prisoners is among DGP camp documents. AGGCE, PS Madrid, 1913.

86 The anarchists had the most representatives (four) on the Patronato Central until the departure of García Oliver and Carnero from the Justice Ministry in May 1937.

127 Colonel Tomás Ardid Rey, the commander of Madrid's disciplinary battalions during the civil war, was held responsible by Francoist military prosecutors for alleged poor treatment of rightists in the Nuevo Baztán battalion, and on 9 November 1939 was sentenced to death.

Blanco's report also asserted that ‘if one has to shoot prisoners [for escapes] then it should be done to prisoners of marked fascist tendencies’. The CNT–FAI leadership (if not necessarily the rank-and-file) continued to support the raison d'être of the SIM – protection of the Republic against internal enemies – and in May 1938 Mariano R. Vázquez, the secretary of the CNT National Committee, proposed to Negrín that García Oliver should be its next leader. IISH, CNT, 004B (3), Vázquez to Negrín, 14 May 1938.

146 Badia, Camps 99–100, 105–6. International brigaders, captured by the SIM attempting to leave Spain, were sent mainly to Concabella (at least thirty) and Falset (at least six). They were most inclined to organise escape attempts, possibly because they believed that their SIM captors would not execute them for fear of the diplomatic consequences. Ibid., 156n.

148 Over 5,000, including at least 3,000 civilians, were taken from Teruel to prisons in Valencia, Alicante and Murcia. Many, including Anselmo Polanco, the bishop of Teruel, and Colonel Rey d'Harcourt, the Nationalist garrison commander, were taken to Catalonia. Polanco and Rey would be executed by their Republican guards fleeing the Nationalist push towards the French frontier in February 1939.
