Barcelona, Spain - 1939 - Taken in 1939, this photograph depicts the moment of the first meeting of the Salesians of the community of Sarriá after the end of the Spanish Civil War. As can be seen, with the exception of two Salesians in priestly garb, all the others are wearing civilian clothes, due to the religious persecution of those years. In the background, you can still see the adhesive tapes placed to protect the window panes, a very common type of protection to prevent the effects of bombing. This is clearly a photograph of great historical importance, which also bears witness to the Salesian commitment during the difficult years of the Civil War.
