For anyone who plans to be in New York City between now and August 12, I recommend highly that you not miss this wonderful exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York. It focuses mainly on the members of the Lincoln Brigade who fought in the Spanish Civil War and includes many interesting movies, still photos and artifacts from that period. I was particularly impressed by the photographs taken in Barcelona and Madrid during the air raids by the German bombers. One cannot help but be more than a little overwhelmed by the well-evident suffering of so many people during that period.

Here is a link to the museum's website for the exhibit:

Thanks for sharing and I probably will be going soon.

I realize it's not NYC, but if you want overwhelming, make the side-trip to Gernika outside Bilbao.

The museum. The history. The German bombers. The genocide. Tragic.
