Bilbao, Bizkaia. The database of victims in the Civil War in Araba, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa is now available on the Gogora Institute’s website. This data (in Basque, in Spanish) is based on a study of fatalities in the Basque Country during the civil war and the first Franco Regime (1936-1945) and on the Basque who died in Spain outside the Basque Country as a result of the war. At present, it contains the records of 20,970 deceased, of which 19,962 are men, 977 women, and in 31 cases, the gender was impossible to determine.
The database was presented yesterday in Bilbao by Beatriz Artolazabal, the Minister of Equality, Justice and Social Policies of the Basque Government, along with the Deputy Minister of Human Rights, Memory and Cooperation, Jose Antonio Rodriguez Ranz, and the Director of the Institute of Memory, and Coexistence and Human Rights Gogora, Aintzane Ezenarro. This is the online version (in Basque, in Spanish) of the paper report entitled, "Victims of the Civil War in Euskadi", published by Gogora in 2019.
The data shows that the burial place of 7,795 deceased is still unknown, and the interest of the families is confirmed, since there are almost 1,500 people who have requested information about their family members who died, or disappeared during the war.
