We have welcomed 2025 revising Catálogo HORES so as to keep this online catalgoue up-to-date. Ever since we released the website back in October, 5 new Spanish-authored works about the Holocaust have appeared, so that the overall number of entries for the year 2024 has reached 22. The new entries include 2 exhibitions, one on drawings about Hitler and the other one on Jewish Brigadists, the latest novels by Arturo Pérez Reverte and Esther Bendahan as well as a memoir, Stendhal en Mauthausen, about the concentrationary experience of the so-called Mauthausen librarian, Joan Tarragó.
- “Tinta contra Hitler. Mario Armengol, caricaturista en la II Guerra Mundial” is an exhibition curated by the journalist and chronicler Plàcid Garcia-Planas that is held at MuVIM Museu Valencià de Il·lustració i de la Modernitat.
- “Por vuestra libertad y la nuestra. Judíos en las Brigadas Internacionales. Exposición monográfica” is an exhibition about Jewish Brigadists curated by Almudena Cruz and held at Centro Sefarad-Israel.
- La isla de la mujer dormida is a novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte and published by Alfaguara. Although the plot revolves around the Spanish Civil War, there is a German “fast boat”, an attack ship known by the Allies as “E-boats”, that plays a significant role in the story, as noted by Jacinto Antón in El País.
- Escucha el silencio is a novel by Esther Bendahan published by Nagrela editores. The main character is the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor who sets upon herself to honour the people who saved her grandmother with the title of Righteous Among the Nations.
- Stendhal en Mauthausen brings to life the camp experience of Joan Tarragó, a Mauthausen prisoner, through the voice of his son, Llibert.
