At the end of the Spanish civil war in 1939 and the victory of General Franco, many Spanish Republicans found refuge in France, especially in Angoulême. At the request of the Germans, they had been parked in a camp in the city, before being deported in August 1940. At the dawn of the 50th anniversary of Franco's death, the children of refugees continue to witness tirelessly on this unknown story.
