The dianenses Asensio Vives Roselló, Jaime Crespo Vengut, José Ramis Grimalt and Vicente Pérez Bolufer, are part of the most gruesome history of the city when, during the Civil War, they traveled to France in search of protection.

Where they sought refuge and a new opportunity, they found concentration camps, such as Barcalès, Argelès-sur-Mer or Herault, where they barely survived. But the worst was yet to come. In 1940, after the Nazi occupation of France during World War II, the four men were deported to the concentration camps of Mauthausen and Gusen, along with many others.

This Wednesday afternoon, their stories were protagonists of the simple but emotional act that took place in the City of Dénia. The consellera of Justice, Gabriela Bravo, presided over the delivery of tiles to the relatives of these victims of Nazi barbarism. An act that is part of the project Construint Memòria of the Generalitat Valenciana.

The general director of Democratic Reforms and Access to Justice, José García Añón, acted as conductor of the act, in which the mayor of Dénia, Vicent Grimalt, and the Consellera herself. In their speeches, both stressed the importance of remembering these stories, which are already part of the history of the city, while agreeing on the need to repair the oblivion to which they have been condemned during all these years.
