Quiero mandar un abrazo enorme a compañeros, familias y amigos de Carlos Hernández.
Su carrera ha sido un ejemplo de compromiso. Su trabajo para dar a conocer los campos de concentración creados por el franquismo tiene un valor incalculable para la memoria democrática de nuestro país.
Very sad to hear that Carlos Hernández has died. Such a great journalist, writer and historian. He was also very generous with both his time and his huge knowledge. DEP.
V.kind, Deborah. Many thanks and happy new year!
Many thanks, Bill. Happy new year!
