«La maternitat d'Elna» is the historical account by Assumpta Montellà, published by Ara Llibres in hardback, 192 pages, in Catalan.
The work focuses on the Maternitat d'Elna, the centre created by Swiss Elisabeth Eidenbenz to shelter Republican exiles surviving in extreme conditions in the camps of Sant Cebrià, Argelers and Ribesaltes. Between 1939 and 1944, 597 children of Catalan and Spanish mothers were able to thrive. The account brings to light a nearly forgotten episode of the postwar period.
Part of the Sèrie H collection. Includes a prologue by Josep M. Solé i Sabaté and unpublished testimonies.
Recommended as reading in schools and institutes, suitable for readers interested in history and real survival stories.
Spanish historian, writer and essayist
