They were buried in pit number 1, at the foot of the Cerro de San Miguel, on which stands a white cross that dominates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2012\/04\/16\/el-cementerio-de-los-martires-de-paracuellos-de-jarama-en-madrid\/\">the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Paracuellos<\/a>, and which is visible from Terminal 2 of the Barajas Airport.<\/p>\n<p><big>In the massacre 276 minors were killed<\/big><\/p>\n<p><strong>Among those killed were people arrested for their political ideas, for being entrepreneurs or for being Catholic.<\/strong> As I have already pointed out, among the victims there were many people who had not reached the age of majority (then in 23 years old). On December 4, 2006, relatives and friends of the murdered persons published a full-page obituary in the newspaper El Mundo, citing the names of <strong>276 minors murdered in these massacres.<\/strong> I have obtained that obituary and I have decided to publish here the list of the<strong> 50 murdered - all boys - between the ages of 13 and 17, just children.<\/strong> While transcribing their names I have seen that, according to the surnames,<strong> four of them were killed along with their older brothers.<\/strong> I did not want to separate them in this little tribute, so I've put the names of the older brothers in the corresponding entries. The list includes <strong>1 murdered who was only 13 years old, 2 murdered of 15, 8 murdered of 16 and 39 murdered of 17.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>And there are still miserable people who justify this atrocity<\/big><\/p>\n<p>Before the list, I end with a small reflection: <strong>all murder, commit whoever commits it, I find something horrendous, and that of any child is even more so.<\/strong> The most surprising thing about our society is that for years I have met with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2012\/09\/19\/no-me-alegra-la-muerte-de-carrillo-pero-me-niego-a-ensalzar-al-autor-de-paracuellos\/\">miserables that somehow justify these crimes<\/a> and even regret that they were no longer the murdered, and even with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2007\/11\/14\/a-por-ellos-como-en-paracuellos\/\">far-left rabble that uses the killing as a threat with expressions like <em>\"for them like in Paracuellos.\"<\/em><\/a> I think it is useless to try to reason with who considers legitimate to kill others for their ideas or beliefs. Of course, <strong>I wonder what miserable excuse will be invented to justify the shooting of children of 13, 15, 16 or 17 years<\/strong> and, above all, what excuse will be invented by the authorities to continue without persecuting those manifestations of apology for the murder.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><strong><big>The list of children killed in the Paracuellos massacres <\/big><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><big>Aravaca<\/big><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Francisco Mart\u00edn Monterroso<\/strong>, 17 years old.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Luis Romeu Cayuela<\/strong>, 17 years old.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><big>Paracuellos de Jarama<\/big><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Luis Ab\u00eda Melendra<\/strong>, 17 years old.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ram\u00f3n Alc\u00e1ntara Alonso<\/strong>, 17 years old.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manuel Alonso Ruiz<\/strong>, 16 years old.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jaime Aranda de Lombera<\/strong>, 17 years old; they also murdered his brother <strong>Andr\u00e9s<\/strong>, 22, and his father <strong>Salvador<\/strong>, 50.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Carlos Arizcun Quereda<\/strong>, 17 years old.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jos\u00e9 A.
