Sígfrid Prim Padró, recruited as a soldier by the government of the Second Republic in 1937, would begin a journey that would end in several French concentration camps, until his return six years later, in 1943. His experiences in exile, reflected in tiny notebooks and in a collection of photographs and postcards that the book includes, allow us to analyze the capacity for evolution and transformation of individuals in certain contexts.  With the book, Esperança Solans wanted to convey to the younger generations what it meant for many people to find themselves in the middle of a warlike confrontation where democratic and human rights in general were put at stake.
