A group of Spanish refugees, at the end of the Spanish Civil War, in Perthus, France. When the Nationalist Army finally won the Spanish Civil War, in 1939, a great number of the defeated Republican soldiers and supporters fled to France. They feared (correctly) that the blood-letting would continue until General Franco and the Nationalists felt they had driven socialism and the Republicans from Spain. Date: 1939

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a group of Spanish refugees at the end of the devastating Spanish Civil War in 1939, seeking solace and safety in Perthus, France. The Nationalist Army had emerged victorious, prompting a mass exodus of defeated Republican soldiers and supporters who feared the brutal repercussions that awaited them under General Franco's regime.
The expressions on their faces tell stories of loss, fear, and uncertainty as they grapple with the harsh reality of displacement and upheaval. These individuals were forced to leave behind their homes, families, and livelihoods in search of refuge from the relentless violence that plagued Spain.
As they stand together in solidarity, it is evident that their resilience knows no bounds. Despite facing unimaginable hardships and adversity, these refugees remain united by a shared sense of hope for a better future.
This poignant image serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of war and conflict. It is a testament to the strength and courage displayed by those who are forced to flee their homelands in pursuit of peace and freedom.
In capturing this moment frozen in time, we are compelled to reflect on our collective responsibility to support those who have been displaced by war and persecution. May we never forget the plight of these brave individuals who sought sanctuary amidst chaos and despair.
