Produced by the journalist Rafael Guerrero, the documentary describes the situation of the 70,000 Spaniards who worked as forced labour in Nazi Germany-occupied France during the Second World War. It uses archive images, witness reports and analysis by historians&#8217; to look back on the odyssey of what the German Nazis called Rotspanier in the concentration camps. The content of the documentary comes from the European project &#8220;Lessons for the present: Rotspanier, Spanish forced laborers in World War II. The European (dis)memory of anti-Fascism&#8221;, led by the URV\u2019s Centre for Studies on Social Conflict (CECOS) and with the participation of partners from Spain, Germany and France.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the co-production is to do justice to the memory of the so-called Rotspanier and demand that they be recognised. In fact, Guerrero says that &#8220;historical memory is a way of doing justice to victims&#8221;, which is precisely what the documentary &#8220;attempts to do after two years of research and pre-production work&#8221;. The Festival was held in the Manuel de Falla Auditorium, in Granada, from 11 to 18 November.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_118144\" aria-labelledby=\"figcaption_attachment_118144\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"width: 1024px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/diaridigital.urv.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DSCF4364-2048x1365-1-1024x683.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-118144\" src=\"https:\/\/diaridigital.urv.cat\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/DSCF4364-2048x1365-1-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Part de l\u2019equip investigador implicat en el projecte.
