The importance of this document in book form (made in 1995 and edited in facsimile form under the care of Lorenzo Sandoval), on the one hand, comes from a time when historical memory was still approached in a timid way. On the other hand, the relevance of the publication is given by its inscription at a time in which there was a constant deconstruction of the logic of the monument from the sphere of art in the nineties.
In those moments of questioning public art designed from positions of power, the CNT built a monument from below loaded with meaning, as well as developing a series of activities around it, what today we would call a discursive program. In this program, they brought together camp survivors, poets, writers and the vast majority of townspeople to recover the memory of the victims in an exercise of collective memory writing.
