The work reconstructs the history of the Maternitat d'Elna, the maternity home created in southern France by the Swiss nurse Elisabeth Eidenbenz. Between 1939 and 1944 it took in children of Catalan and Spanish women in exile who were living in misery in the refugee camps of Sant Cebrià de Rosselló, Argelers and Ribesaltes, and thanks to it 597 children survived.
Work subtitled «Bressol dels exiliats», with a prologue by Josep M. Solé i Sabaté, in the Serie H collection.
For people interested in the history of the Spanish postwar period, the Republican exile and humanitarian aid initiatives.
