SPAIN. Island of Minorca. Children take refuge in underground shelters to escape the bombings. Minorca is the only island that remains loyal to the Republic. Located directly across the Catalan coast and close to the Franquist island of Majorca, its main town found itself in the path of the Italian Fascist army. 1938.
Parisian suburb. June 1936. National strike for the 40 hour week, paid holidays, and collective agreements. During a sit in at their factory, workers entertain each other. Banlieue parisienne, juin 1936. Mouvement de grève nationale pour la semaine de quarante heures, les congés payés et les conventions collectives. Les ouvriers font la fête dans la cour d'une usine occupée.
SPAIN. Barcelona. The International Brigades are made to leave Spain by the Jallander Commission, which ordered the departure of all foreign troops fighting alongside the Republicans and Franquists
North of France. Young miners.
I like how David Seymour was able to capture the feelings and the things that people were living during the war in Spain and after World War II in Europe. David Seymour's pictures show both the physical and spiritual damage the war had done to this generation of young people.
