The Junta de Andalucía and Málaga University have said that it wants to find some 80 youngsters to help, during July and August, in the exhumation of some 3,000 bodies shot and dumped in the mass grave at the San Rafael cemetery in Málaga during the Spanish Civil War.
The program is being established in conjunction with the Asociación contra el Olvido as part of the new Historical Memory law.
Those youngsters aged under 30 who want to take part are invited to send an email to informacion.ma.iaj@juntadeandalucia.es
Meanwhile an internet project now allows people to consult the names of the 35,388 victims of the Spanish Civil War in its database. The page has details of those shot, those who went into exile, and prisoners sent to jails or concentration camps. It can be found at www.todoslosnombres
