Bio / presentation
The Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory (ARMH) is a pioneering organization in Spain, dedicated to the investigation, location, and exhumation of mass graves of victims of the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship. Its work goes beyond forensics, focusing on the recovery of collective memory, an essential component of intangible cultural heritage. The ARMH documents oral testimonies, collects life stories, and seeks to dignify the victims, restoring their identity and place in history. Through its work, it contributes to truth, justice, and reparation, ensuring that the experiences and narratives of those silenced do not fall into oblivion. Its commitment is fundamental for the construction of a democratic memory and the transmission of a vital historical legacy to future generations.
