White Terror was the series of assassinations realized by the Nationalist faction during the Spanish Civil War ( 1936 – 39 ) , and during the first nine years of the régime of General Francisco Franco . Thousands of victims are buried in hundreds of unmarked common graves ( over 2,000 ) , more than 600 in Andalusia alone . The largest of these is the common grave at San Rafael cemetery on the outskirts of Málaga ( with perhaps more than 4,000 bodies ) . The Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory ( '' Asociación para la Recuperación de la Memoria Historica '' or ARMH ) says that the number of disappeared is over 35,000
