Description

The images of the republican fighters on the Aragon front in 1936 are a direct testimony of the fight for democracy in one of the most significant conflicts of the European 20th century. This document reflects the commitment of thousands of people who, from Catalonia and other parts of Spain, defended republican legality in the face of the fascist uprising. The Aragon front was a scene of resistance, sacrifice and international solidarity, with the participation of brigades from all over Europe. These images connect us with the values ​​of freedom, justice and dignity, and remind us that the Spanish Civil War was also a symbolic battle for the democratic Europe that wanted to be built.
