MURUETAGOIENA: My mom was also arrested in a different city with me present, so I saw how my mom was arrested - probably one of the most traumatizing events of my life. MCCAMMON: But that was not the end of it. But my parents never recovered from what happened. MURUETAGOIENA: My father went to trial for assisting terrorists, and he was able to prove his innocence.
MCCAMMON: Muruetagoiena's father, who was a doctor, treated the wounded terrorists. They couldn't cross the border, so they stayed in my house. It's considered a terrorist organization by Spain and many other countries around the world, including the United States. MCCAMMON: They were members of the Basque separatist group ETA. There were men drenched in blood with shotguns, and they asked my father to take care of them. TAMARA MURUETAGOIENA: And I remember this. In 1978, in the Spanish Basque Country on a cold night, men dressed in black arrived at Tamara Muruetagoiena's house in the village of Oiartzun near the border with France.
