The closure of the Gibraltar border in 1969 by Spanish dictator Francisco Franco radically changed the lives of thousands of families. Aracely Laza, who was only five years old at the time, experienced the pain of being torn apart from her relatives in an instant.
Today, living in Algeciras, Aracely explains that many things were taken away from her, from her grandmother's hugs to the closeness with her mother's siblings. The closure of the border damaged family ties, ending their childhood memories and the experience of being an extended family.
This closure deeply affected not just one person, but many families in the Gibraltar region (Campo de Gibraltar). Aracely's story reveals the decades-long human tragedy caused by the border decision of that time.
