The congress will take place on April 27 and 28 and will take part in prestigious researchers who will discuss the victims’ right to truth.
The first congress “Gernika 85 years. Memory, legislation and historiography” will bring together prestigious researchers in this Biscayan city on April 27 and 28, who will discuss the right to the truth of the victims of bombings and other violent events.
The event is organized by the Gernika City Council in collaboration with the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), the Center for Basque Studies of the University of Nevada and the Gogora Institute of Memory, Coexistence and Human Rights.
Of the fourteen researchers who will participate, the Hispanist Paul Preston and the historians Angel Vinas and Xabier Irujoas announced this Wednesday by the Gernika Consistorie in a note.
The Congress was promoted in the context of the celebration of the 85th anniversary of the bombing of Gernika, which took place on April 26, 1937.
The organizers have emphasized that the celebration of the event is part of the need to include in “historical discourse the memory of the victims of traumatic pasts and of those who were left out of traditional narratives”.
