List of stumbling blocks in the province of Girona

Stumbling blocks in Girona

The list of stumbling blocks in the province of Girona contains the stumbling blocks in the province of Girona in Spain , which were laid by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig . Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . As a rule, they are located in front of the last self-chosen residence of the victim, but in Girona they are collected in a central square in the city.

The first laying in Spain took place on April 9, 2015 in Navàs and El Palà de Torroella , in the province of Girona on January 29, 2018. The Catalan translation of the term stumbling blocks is: pedres que fan ensopegar . In Spanish they are called piedras de la memoria (memorial stones ).

Spanish Republicans

The Spanish Civil War ended in March 1939 with the coup against the Negrín government in Madrid. Already in February 1939 there were almost 500,000 war refugees, most of them interned in southern France. More than half of them returned to Spain and many opponents of Franco found asylum in Latin America . But around 150,000 Spanish republicans remained in exile in France even after the end of the Second World War . When Hitler's Germany conquered large parts of France in May and June 1940, the Spanish civil war refugees also came under arbitrary German rule. Many Spaniards were able to go into hiding or hide, tens of thousands of Spanish civil war refugees fell into German captivity, and around 15,000 were deported to concentration camps, mostly to Mauthausen and Gusen . In 1941 alone, 3,000 Spaniards died in Gusen concentration camp due to the conditions in the camp, malnutrition and strenuous forced labor . In 1943, those deported to Gusen lived; originally there were probably 5,000 Spaniards, only 500.
