9/9 This is the month to honor those who flee their countries, running away from war and famine, seeking a better future for their families.

8/9 Many Spanish refugees remained displaced for years, unable to return home. Their longing for their homeland and the pain of separation persisted, creating a sense of nostalgia Some of them only went back after the end of the dictatorship, 40 years later. Others did not.

7/9 France: The most committed country and the nearest to Spain. It hosted an estimated 450,000 to 500,000 Spanish refugees. They were accommodated in makeshift camps and provided with humanitarian assistance, medical care, and education.

6/9 Like the one before mentioned, many other "Casas españolas" were opened in order to tackle the trauma, the displacement, and the need to reestablish their sense of belonging and to defend their interests.
@LHGVenezuela is another example which survives until these days.

5/9 Venezuela was another of the countries which open its borders to Spanish Refugees. It is calculated that at least 30.000 Spanish refugees seek asylum in Venezuela. Especially from the Canary Islands and Galicia because of the famine of the 50s.
@hcanariov was a result of this

4/9 Mexico was an excellent example of hosting Spanish refugees, around 50.000, mostly intellectuals, scientists and artists. Many Mexican historians agreed that these refugees were a very lucky issue and contribute greatly to the growth of the country.

3/9 The international community played a crucial role in providing assistance to the Spanish refugees. Countries like France (especially), the Soviet Union, Argentina and UK opened their doors and offered refuge, while organizations like the Red Cross provided aid.

2/9 Many of the refugees, especially kids, faced immense hardships during their journey and upon arrival in foreign lands. They were often separated from their families and had to navigate unfamiliar territories without adequate resources or support. #InternationalRefugeeDay

1/9 The Spanish refugee crisis that followed the civil war (1936-1939) was a tragic chapter in history but also an example of international solidarity. Almost half a million Spaniards were forced to flee their homes, seeking safety and shelter in neighboring countries.
