Today 80 years ago started the Bombing of Barcelona, a series of Nationalist airstrikes by German and Italian planes, which took place from 16 to 18 March 1938, during the Spanish Civil War. Up to 1,300 people were killed and at least 2,000 wounded. The first raid came at 10:00 of 16 March and after that, there were 17 air raids at three hour intervals until 03:00 in the morning of 18 March. Barcelona had little anti-aircraft artillery and no fighter cover. It was the perfect laboratory for later WW2 bombings like Rotterdam. Today we see the even devastating and cruel effects on the civil populations of the bombings in Syria. Syria has to bear a civil war for 7 years now. The Spanish Civil War lasted 3 years, enough to divide the country in a way, that has its consequences to this day. I can’t imagine what it must be doing to the Syrian people right know, and how long will it take them to be able to live together in peace. On this image you see the Fossar de la Pedrera (Montjuïc), Barcelona. The disused quarry contains the remains of thousands of people from both sides: victims of the anti-fascist militias, of the events of May 1937, of the bombing of Barcelona by Italian and German planes between 16 and 18 March, 1938 and 3,400 victims of Francoist executions between 1939 and 1952. Bodies would be slid down a plank into a prepared pit and covered with quicklime. This image is part of my current book project Memoria Perdida. I would appreciate your support for the crowdfunding campaign (only 3 days to go).

Last week to support the #crowdfunding campaign of my book MEMORIA PERDIDA - Spain’s Lost Memory 1936-1975 - Link in my Biography or https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/miquelgonzalez/memoria-perdida-recovering-spains-lost-memory-1936 Víznar III (Barranco de Víznar), Granada. In the Barranco de Víznar between 2,500 and 3,000 deaths were recorded between 1936 and 1951. According to oral testimonies more than 6,500 people are buried in mass graves along the road between Víznar and Alfacar. The majority of those were teachers, university professors, day labourers and workers in general, detained by Falangista squads commanded by the military force. The series comprises photographs of atrocity sites and sites of mass graves that have not been opened or commemorated to this day. The bodies of up to 114,000 ‘disappeared’ from the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship of Francisco Franco still lie along roadsides, in ravines or in fields and in unmarked mass graves on the edges of towns and villages. #memoriahistorica #memoriaperdida #crowdfundingcampaign #kickstarter #photobook #Photography #garcialorca (bij Granada, Spain)
