When I read many years The death of hope , the testimony of the excellent book War of Spain of which he is author and journalist libertarian writer Eduardo de Guzman (1908-1991) I remember the incidents followed the second part was particularly moved. Guzman narrates the last days of March 1939 in the port of Alicante, where thousands of Republicans, once missed the chance to escape by boat of the Franco regime, were arrested and interned in the concentration camp of Los Almendros by rebel troops. The emotion of this reading comes from one of my most deeply rooted childhood nightmares, by the way also another evacuation, this consummate itself, which took place on the quays of Musel of Gijon in the fall of 1937. My children paid dearly indiscretion me aware of those events to hear more clandestine talks for adults, because the fun afternoons spent fishing in the harbor at night usually followed afterwords dream full of anxieties. Nothing seemed more unfortunate to imagine hundreds of children and adolescents, which will then be called Children of War in Mexico or Moscow, separating from their parents with tears and hugs, while the flames of the fuel tanks of the city, bombed by Franco's army, lent these dramatic scenes of ghostly background morning.

remained ahead so much war and was still feasible to put a date not too far back to a family reunion, which eventually would take too long or never performed. Inmates confined in Almendros had no expectations that the captivity or death, because the war had ended with his defeat. Suffered from all the evidence was recreated in the novel Campo de los Almendros , written by Max Aub and not a few critics as one of the best, if not the best of those published in exile (Mexico, 1968 .) Elaborating on the days of despair and panic experienced in the port of Alicante, which gives reference Guzmán testimonial in his book, complete with magnificent Aub prose unfortunate perspective that points to the last page The death of hope when the journalist and anarchist writer describes the suicide of those who can not or will not overcome the sorrow and disappointment the defeat: " A moment of silent contemplation. Then we walked slowly toward the exit. Camino mechanically, without even seeing where floor. Before me I see the soldiers that lie ahead. I think the illusions vanished, the example of those who fell in the long run. Someone whispered to me: 'Soon will envy the dead. "Seat without words. It is the first of April 1939. The war is over! ."

almost five years ago that the Alicante Civic Commission for the Recovery of Historical Memory has referred to the city council, ruled by the Popular Party, the request to erect a memorial to remember the tragic end of the war and those who suffered repression under Franco in the concentration camp and other facilities of the city on such tough conditions, according to the poet Marcos Ana, encourage prisoners to eat flowers and tender stems of the extreme precariousness food and water. In November 2004 established the municipal commission for that the matter was under study. Two years later, in view of such a commission that showed no sign of activity, applicants claimed a parcel of public land in Los Almendros to locate the appropriate memorial there. Even received a grant from central government to this effect, the subsidy expired in March without the demand of the Civic Commission was attended by the City.

On 3 February, coinciding with 70 years for the brutal mousetrap that about 14,000 people accounted for the port of Alicante, many of them significant in the struggle for the legitimate and constitutional arrangements of the Second Republic, the Commission Civic of that city presented a manifesto at the Ateneo de Madrid for repairing an old injustice, make a story manipulated fight against forgetting, ultimately repay a moral debt that English democracy is still in Spain who advocated a tolerant, peaceful , cultured and caring .

can not understand in today's Spain that while the Prince of Asturias Foundation awards a prize Oviedo harmony to the Holocaust Museum a couple of years or La Jonquera opens a museum in memory of the English placed in the concentration camp of Argelès, the mayor of Alicante continue deferring into the monument called Los Almendros. Of course, neither can understand the existing law of historical memory, another mayor's Party, the latter of Salamanca , keep Francisco Franco as mayor after the city, with his effigy carved in stone on the baroque arches of the Plaza Mayor, and refuses to rehabilitate Unamuno as a Republican councilman. What these people wounded speaks when it comes to memory that reopens?. The only injuries in a democracy that claims are to continue paying awards to those who fought and forgotten its defenders. Wound is to consider that in the Field of Almendros was planted a year ago a flowering almond tree, in the absence of the memorial claimed, and the next day appeared uprooted with the signing of a swastika banner of barbarism.

A Miguel Gutierrez, Miguel Ríos

A Miguel Gutierrez, historical memory

Last Friday there was a tribute to the worker's right as he liked to call himself, Miguel Gutierrez Carbonell, offered by colleagues, lawyers and especially friends. However, since the same Friday and although I went and got excited and all his family, I pursued the unacknowledged uneasiness of a compromise failed. I have a debt to Michael that ho have settled and their sly expression in the photographs illustrating the paper built in tribute to his friends, has brought me to mind. My

Debt is old but not too much, goes back to just one and a half ago, when drafting an obituary affective memory should be dismissed Unquera Professor of Archaeology, who had died unexpected and premature. To Riccardo Francovich, as for a whole generation of Italian intellectuals born immediately after World War II, the 2nd English Republic and his defeat of fascism was a myth of progress truncated, in which thousands of people were left to their fate - "the best of Spain" - in the words of Max Aub, at the Port of Alicante, the last bastion of the besieged Republic precisely occupied by Italian forces, symbolized better than anything the powerful magnitude of the defeat and the terrible disaster that loomed over Europe, therefore, continued with passion Riccardo our discussion of historical memory.

In this farewell alluded to the chance of accidental death would have occurred, the 68 anniversary of the entry in the city of Littorio division and civil farewell in Florence coincided with another civic event held in Alicante, in memory of men and women Republicans caught in the harbor, were taken to a makeshift camp in a nearby almond terraces, and in which Michael himself as a member of the Civic Commission for Recovery Historical Memory spoke. While preparing this text I called Miguel to inquire some information related to these tragic events and although I was in a hurry were provided in full, with the prodigality of his characteristic word, putting the only condition send him the letter. So I did and days later he called to tell me he had moved and confession of step with age became increasingly sensitive to surveys issued by the heart, which he attributed to old age and I to his bonhomie. We joke and I promised that I would make a similar farewell, not knowing that soon and equally unexpected way, also Miguel would be required by their peers to the "winged souls of the almond cream."

This is my debt, not dismissed as frivolous made that promise, not even when we offered the opportunity to participate in this last tribute, which I thought was for his sons and his colleagues in the judiciary and ideas to speak. But the fact is that Michael did not feel like forgiving me I wanted to pay down debt and openly with these lines that are not, though it may seem, a tribute to his memory but because of it.

Prepositions are not insignificant and this "for" refers to the vindication of the memory Historical why he, along with others, and others, fought until the very day of his death. No talk of spending bills or exercise revenge, but something as simple as a memory rescue force silenced. In these times when my job as historian on earth has been made available by the story-not usually built from a distance of textual documents and materials, but those near and terrible that flow from the right of the living to remember its dead - our picks and brushes to unearth the remnants of a painful for next race, I come findings to the head of Miguel Hernández verses dedicated to his dead friend and accompanying Miguel Gutierrez also in last Friday's tribute:

"I dig the earth with their teeth, / I want to break the land part / a part of bites dry and hot / I want to mine the earth to find / and kiss your noble skull / and desamordazarte and bring you back. "

Because that is, to desamordazar and return, not only dead but his memory of the right to know and remember. Miguel, on behalf of the Civic Commission, claiming only an urban space and desamordazara memory returns in the form of a fleet of winged almond cream. He died without success and all the tributes that have sele not supply the we expect and that is not really a tribute to him, but the memory of all men and women who lost the life-or silence-their right to think what they thought. I've already cumplidomi indebted to my uncle Miguel writing farewell promised. Our City Council has yet to fulfill his own, convinced that their democratic nature makes him a direct heir of that freedom of thought which was then silenced. The opposite means more than not keeping its debt to all citizens of Alicante, take unjustifiable continuity with those who ended democracy in the field of almond trees.
