Salamanca private documents return to Catalonia

Last month, the first private documents taken from Catalonia by Franco’s nationalist returned to Catalonia’s National Archive. These documents kept in the Archivo General de la Guerra Civil Española in Salamanca in 1940 and it includes 120 books, that 75 were part of the private library of the writer Antoni Rovira Virgili.

Catalonian officials have campaigned for the return of these books for more than 20 years; now these documents are safely in their correct side.
