A literary journey through the story
On May 23, 2025, the Casal Català de Hostalets de Pierola will host an exceptional literary event. The historian Laura Valls Ribas and the author Ramon Arnabat will be responsible for presenting the book ‘Del Penedès in the Nazi extermination camps’. This work promises to offer a deep look at the experiences of those who experienced moments of great pain and transformation during a dark period of history.
A relevant historical context
The presentation will not only be limited to reading fragments of the book, but will also include a discussion of the meaning of this story in the current context. Valls and Arnabat will explore how the experiences of our ancestors can influence our understanding of today’s world.
The importance of historical memory
Understanding the past is essential to building a better future. This event seeks not only to remember the victims of the Nazi extermination camps, but also to promote a debate on the importance of historical memory and its role in our society today.
Complementary activities throughout the week
The literary presentation is part of a series of activities scheduled throughout the week, including art exhibitions, talks on various topics and theatrical performances. Activities such as ’10 years of library’ and ‘The Art of Rebirth’ offer a wide spectrum of options for all those interested in culture and history.
A future full of reflections and learning
As society progresses, the study of the past becomes more crucial. The presentation of this book to Hostalets de Pierola not only invites reflection on history, but also promotes the dialogue between generations, in the hope that the lessons learned will help us to prevent similar horrors from happening again.
