Published in National Geographic: Reenactments and the Spanish Civil War

23 December, 2024

At MÓN, we are committed to exploring the meanings that war leaves behind and the lessons that emerge beyond conflict. We live on a planet marked by the scars of devastating combats, where the reinterpretation of past wars can help dismantle romanticized views of warfare and foster a critical awareness of violence and its enduring consequences.

‘Reimagining: The Spanish Civil War’ delves into untold stories—moments the camera missed, rediscovered relics, and memories cherished by those who refuse to let them fade. Through the eyes of modern re-enactors, many of whom are young historians, the silenced history of the Spanish Civil War is brought back to life. This time, the soldiers bear new faces—many resembling their ancestors, often the direct descendants of those who fought.

We invite you to explore these narratives further through National Geographic España. Discover the importance of preserving war memory and the fascinating world of Spain’s historical battle reenactments.
