During the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), the socialist movement initiated various solidarity actions with Republican Spain. Among other things, children were brought from the war zones to be placed with Belgian host families. Amsab-ISG holds a collection of drawings in which the children depict the traumatic experience of the civil war in their own way.
