Memorials Laid In Madrid
Seven additional Stolpersteine memorial stones were laid in Madrid this week. The installation was performed by German artist Gunther Demnich. One of the stones commemorates Esteban Díaz-Baidis, who was born in 1898. Approximately 50 people gathered at Minivielstraße in the Madrid-Stadtal area for the ceremony. Jesus Rodriguez, an initiator of these actions in Spain, noted that nearly 500,000 Spaniards fled to France following Franco's victory in 1939. More than 9,000 of those refugees were taken as prisoners of war after German troops entered France in 1940. One memorial honors a grandfather named Esteban who fought for the democratic Spanish Republic.
