Today on the YouTube channel, I’m continuing a series of videos about different interesting topics from the Basque Country’s history.
This video focuses on the Comet Line, one of the escape routes through Europe during World War II that allowed Allied forces stuck behind enemy lines to get to safety. The Comet Line went from Belgium, through France, and down into Spain. The Basque Country was the chosen route to cross over the French/Spanish border, and many Basque smugglers were involved in helping hundreds of Allied servicemen.

Today on the YouTube channel, I’m sharing an interview I did with my dad about his Christmas growing up in the Basque Country in the 1940’s and 1950’s.
Aita talks about what they did on Christmas Day, what kinds of presents he got, and how he sees traditions have changed over the years. He discusses how he spent Christmas in the United States vs. the Basque Country, what he thinks of Olentzero, and shares his Christmas message for the audience.
