Spanish Civil War: 'How I found my Republican great-grandfather, forgotten in mass graves'

GlobeAlert Desk · curated from Le Monde [en]

Like thousands of other Spanish Republicans, José Molina Lopez was cast into an anonymous mass grave and had his memory erased by the narrative imposed by the dictator Franco. Journalist Garance Muñoz retraced her great-grandfather's story, a reparative journey enabled by laws passed since 2007.
