by Mónica Castellanos (Author)

Ésta es la historia del gran Gilberto Bosques Saldívar, el diplomático mexicano que durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial salvó miles de vidas en Francia al otorgar visados mexicanos para que los refugiados pudieran hallar paz en una tierra nueva.

Son los días de Franco y de Hitler. Entre los miles de refugiados de la guerra civil española, Guillermina Giralt y Francesc Planchart, dos jóvenes catalanes, vivirán una de las más conmovedoras historias en su intento por sobrevivir al campo de internamiento francés de Argelès-sur-Mer. Pero no serán los únicos. Miles de hombres, mujeres y niños, intelectuales, artistas, campesinos y obreros abandonarán sus hogares, enfrentarán condiciones de vida inhumanas y lucharán por conservar lo más preciado que tienen: sus vidas.

En ese futuro incierto emergerá un hombre, el cónsul mexicano Gilberto Bosques, que, arriesgando su vida y la de su familia, y pese a la detención de la Gestapo, irá más allá de sus funciones diplomáticas para salvar a miles de personas de la más cruenta y desgarradora persecución de la historia.

En Aquellas horas que nos robaron, Mónica Castellanos recrea con maestría la historia de este héroe. Recorre distintos momentos históricos de México y espolvorea la realidad europea de los años treinta y cuarenta, en pleno auge del fascismo y franquismo, para devolvernos la vida, la memoria y la esperanza de la bondad humana.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This is the story of the great Gilberto Bosques Saldívar, the Mexican diplomat who saved thousands of lives in France during the Second World War, giving out Mexican visas so refugees could find peace in a new land.

These are the days of Franco and Hitler. Among the thousands of refugees from the Spanish Civil War, Guillermina Giralt and Francesc Planchart, two young Catalans, will live one of the most touching stories in their attempt to survive the French internment camp at Argelès-sur-Mer. But they are not the only ones. Thousands of men, women, and children, intellectuals, artists, farmers, and workers will leave their homes behind, facing inhumane living conditions, and will fight to keep the most precious thing they have--their lives.

In this uncertain future, one man will emerge, Mexican Consul Gilberto Bosques, who, risking his own life and his family's, and despite being detained by the Gestapo, will surpass his diplomatic duties to save thousands of people in the cruelest, most heart-breaking persecution in history.

In Those Hours They Stole from Us, Mónica Castellanos masterfully recreates this hero's story. At the height of Fascism and Francoism, she explores different moments in Mexican history and sprinkles the European reality of the thirties and forties to give us back our lives, our memories, and our hope in human kindness.
