Shared Memories. CEAR in collaboration with Gernika Gogoratuz

Shared Memories. CEAR in collaboration with Gernika Gogoratuz

The primary aim of the Shared Memories initiative has been to identify parallels between today’s refugee situation and the Basque exile during the Spanish Civil War and the Franco regime, highlighting the specific contributions made by women. Recovering these shared memories allows us to recall what we experienced in previous decades, to seek out the elements that unite us through that experience, and to learn from our history in order to identify the factors that will enable us to better welcome those arriving here today.

This publication is the result of a research process carried out in 2015, through workshops and interviews with refugees and exiles. Testimonies were gathered from refugees in the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (CAE) and from those who experienced exile during the Franco regime, identifying the parallels in their lived experiences.
