Així és la guerra...". Diaris personals de combatents (1936-1939)

Exhibition on the Civil War based on the personal diaries written by combatants between 1936 and 1939, featuring texts, drawings, poems and songs, at the Museu d'Història de Catalunya in Barcelona.

The exhibition Així és la guerra... Diarios personales de combatientes (1936-1939) focuses on the notebooks written by those who took part in the Civil War. Written while the events were unfolding, these texts offer a direct, personal perspective, far removed from official accounts.

The diaries record the fears, hopes, memories, routines and reflections of those who lived through the conflict from the trenches. Besides writing, the notebooks also contain drawings, poems and songs that complete what is recounted. The exhibition, organised together with the Memorial Democràtic, presents these documents as a historical source.

The project is also presented as a tribute to the anonymous people who took part in the war, placing their experience and testimony at the centre. The Museu d'Història de Catalunya is a museum in Barcelona, located on Plaça de Pau Vila, devoted mainly to history and civilisations, and it hosts this exhibition.
