Christopher EvansFour years ago, I attended the 85th anniversary memorial in Gernika, honouring those who lost their lives in the devastating bombings of 26 April 1937. The sound of the air raid sirens was chilling. It’s hard not to feel that history’s lessons are still being ignored. #Gernika #StopWar #StopFascism
cerementon this day, 26 April 1937, the town of Gernika (Guernica) was aerially bombed by a coalition of Nazis, Spanish fascists, and Italian fascists, with somewhere between 150 to 1600 casualties – Picasso started his famous anti-war painting on 1 May and finished 4 June 1937

Luistxo FernandezDuela 89 urte, #Gernika ko bonbardaketa. Hara joan ziren Condorreko hegazkinak beste herri batzuk ametrailatzen eta bonbaztatzen ibili ziren Bizkaian goizetik, eta Munitibarren 11 lagun hil zituzten, zenbait zubi baten azpian. Han hil zuten ezagutu ez nuen nire osaba, Jose Mari Ostolaza, bere emaztea eta Julene haurra. Juleneren ahizpa pixkat nagusiagoa bizirik irten zen, aurpegia metrailak desfiguratua, nik ezagutu nuen nire lehengusina Edurne Ostolaza Larrinaga. https://ahotsak.eus/media/pdf/ahotsakeus_ostolaza-larrinaga-edurne_2025-12-11-1312.pdf
