Democratic Memory Days in La Sénia

The Democratic Memory Days in La Sénia have become an essential forum for reflection, dissemination, and engagement with the recent past. Organized in collaboration with institutions, research centers, and organizations dedicated to preserving historical memory, these events aim to promote critical understanding and preserve the memory of the collective experiences that have shaped our region. Through a diverse and comprehensive program, the event seeks to offer the public different perspectives on episodes that are part of our democratic history and that continue to resonate with us today.

The exhibitions, lectures, and scheduled activities offer a journey through key moments of the 20th century, especially those linked to concentration camps, political repression, and the resulting personal histories. Through historical research, testimonies, literature, and visual documents, the events provide a space to understand how manipulation, propaganda, and human rights violations affected entire generations. This approach allows for contextualizing the experiences of those who suffered repression, both those who endured persecution in Catalonia and those who lived through the horrors of Nazi camps.

The involvement of specialists, historians, writers, and expert guides brings essential value: rigor. Their contributions help build a critical perspective that strengthens collective awareness and helps transmit to future generations the importance of preserving memory as a tool for democratic protection.

In addition to educational activities, the events also aim to highlight local heritage related to the Civil War and the post-war period through itineraries and guided tours that bring history to the area in a direct and experiential way. This fosters an active connection between past and present, between physical space and emotional memory.
