Spain had been in a dictatorship by Franco. Before the dictatorship had been established there was a civil war from 1936 to 1939. In this period of time most of the Spanish republicans had been obligated to be exiled for fear of reprisals by the victors and the dictatorial political regime established in Spain. This Spanish refugees walked to France, and most of them had carried to concentration camps as Dachau, Gusen, Mathausen...
This year has initiated a project called "Exile, deportation and the Holocaust". It was a project conducted last months for 1Baccalaureate students. Once of the firsts weeks of February the students of some high schools of Alt Emporà went to MUME Museum for listen the experience of a refugee Spanish when he had nine years old. Then the first week of April four high school that participated in this project were undertaken to a travel to Austria and Germany.
In this trip we visit the remains of Gusen, Mathausen, Hartheim Castle, Dachau, Neuschwanstein and some city as Munich.
In a certain way it was a study tour that could us walked in the footsteps of Spanish republicans. We met new people, places and the horror that a lot of people lived few years ago. The teachers that came with us told us that next year it will be repeat and I recommend it, because knew and revived the past. It was a wonderful and great study tour.
