Evelyn Mesquida

Based in Paris as a correspondent since the 1970s, she has a long history of journalistic research in historical memory. For more than a decade, she dedicated herself to the task of reconstructing the history of the fighters of "La Nueve", a key factor in the official recognition by the French Republic of the Spanish fighters who liberated Paris on August 24, 1944. As an author, she has published La Nueve. Los españoles que liberaron París (Ediciones B, 2008), Y ahora, volved a vuestras casas (Ediciones B, 2020) and El cementerio de los locos (Ediciones B, 2023), all of them the result of her research on the history of the Spaniards who fought in the Second World War or who went into exile in France after the Spanish Civil War and Franco's victory.
