Saturday, May 3: The double border: Portbou and Walter Benjamin.

At the outbreak of the Second World War, Portbou, a border town that was the exit route for many Republicans at the end of the Civil War, became one of the main entry routes for many European Jewish citizens and anti-fascist resistance fighters fleeing the horror of the Nazis. We will visit the cemetery and the “Pasajes” monument by Dani Karavan, dedicated to the memory of the German philosopher of Jewish descent Walter Benjamin.

Meeting point: in front of the tourist office, Portbou.
