He was my great-uncle. I am happy he stills alive with this kind of positive initiatives.

P.S: for not being killed, his brother (my grand-father) went to the foreign Legion. During this war he suffred different mutilations and serious health issues. After he came back to Europe, he went to Belgium and pass his days there.
He was banned from Spain for more than 17 years. He has been accepted again after the intervention of the Belgian Queen who was also spanish. His was Valentin Toranzo Alonso. He became a great artist who won international price with his art who sometimes "spoke" about the spanish civil war.
