“The Thirteen Roses” (Las Trece Rosas) – 13 young Spanish women aged 18-22, executed by the fascist Francoists in 1939

“The Thirteen Roses” (Las Trece Rosas) – 13 young Spanish women aged 18-22, executed by the fascist Francoists in 1939 for being members of the Unified Socialist Youth (united Communist and Socialist Youth). 

Many of their comrades at the prison recall that while they were being driven away by lorry (the pic.) to their deaths, they sang the "Youthful Guardsmen" (anthem of the Unified Socialist Youth) so as to be heard by their comrades who remained in jail.
