Abstract
Eighty years after the beginning of the Spanish Civil War it is the time to look back for knowing how much we have learnt about our recent past, how it is being dealt with and how present it is in our lives. To do this, we should compare our past with other countries which have also undergone a traumatic past; in this way we will be able to understand why the historical memory in Spain is practically non-existent. This comparison allows us to understand that the educational task in Spain concerning the teaching of the facts during the Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship has been totally insufficient and the unawareness of the Spanish society regarding this matter is huge. On the basis of other political processes like the ones occurred in Germany, Argentina or Chile, we can understand the necessity of creating a memorial museum in Spain.
