In the cemetery of Paterna, a town on the outskirts of Valencia, Spain, the mass graves of the victims of the fascist Francoist dictatorship (1936–1975), are currently being exhumed. As the exhumations take place, the recovered objects and clothing, human remains and DNA testing are helping to identify the 2238 people buried in this location. The objects and clothing are under the care of conservators at L’Ento Museum, the Valencian Museum of Ethnology. These items of clothing and quotidian objects are like maps that reveal to us the stories of those who suffered political repression. They are both testimony and a form of witness, assisting in the retelling of the biographies of those who have remained on the periphery of history.
