Eye of the needle

The aim of the ‘Eye of the needle’ exhibition is to make visible the experience of the Basque children who were evacuated in 1937 during the war and the military coup of 1936. Through testimonies, photographs, documents and objects of historical value, visitors will be able to get closer to the personal stories of those who lived through exile and uprooting.

This exhibition is preceded by several workshops in which the testimonies of people who were sent into exile as children and their descendants have been collected.

One of these workshops was held on 26 May at the Euskal Herria Museum in Gernika at 5 p.m. for children of the war and at 7 p.m. for their descendants, with the aim of collecting testimonies, objects and photographs.
