Memorial Democràtic de Catalunya

The mission of Memorial Democràtic is the recovery, commemoration and promotion of democratic memory in Catalonia (1931-1980). This historical period encompasses the Second Republic, the Civil War, the Franco dictatorship and the transition to democracy. The Democratic Memorial emphasizes the recovery of victims' memory for ideological, conscientious, religious or social reasons, as well as the repression perpetrated by the Franco dictatorship on individuals and groups (including language and Catalan culture), exile and deportation.

The Democratic Memorial recalls the anti-Franco struggle and the transition to democracy until the first parliamentary elections in Catalonia. It puts at the center of its activity the dignity of the person, democratic values and respect for human rights so that barbarism does not recur here or anywhere.
