According to the documentation collected by the council, eight people originally from Gandesa were victims of deportation. Of these, six died in the camps and two managed to survive, a historical reality that the council aims to make visible to the public.
The Stolpersteine (stumbling blocks) project involves placing small commemorative cobblestones in front of the homes where the victims lived. Each piece includes the basic data of the honored person, integrating the memory into the public space.
This initiative aims to preserve the memory of the victims of Nazism and foster collective reflection on values such as freedom, coexistence, justice, and respect for human rights.
With this adherence, the council commits to promoting the installation of the cobblestones, facilitating collaboration with democratic memory entities, and promoting educational activities. The proposal was approved with the favorable votes of JUNTS x Gandesa, APG-ERC, and SOM x Gandesa-PSC, with the abstention of the PP.
