Monserrat Llor Serra

Born in Barcelona, based and working in Madrid. Journalist and writer, currently preparing a doctoral thesis on Deported Women and Nazism at the Complutense University Madrid.

Years of working in the Information services of the radio, also in the editorial office of Spanish magazines, then carrying out press campaigns for publishers and institutions, and currently press officer of the delegation in Madrid of the Catalan government. Reports for cultural and history magazines. Author of the books: "Atrapados. Guerra civil y represión" ("Trapped: Civil War and Repression") with prologue by the historian Ángel Viñas (Ed. Crítica-Planeta), "Vivos en el averno nazi" ("Alive in Nazi hell"), with prologue by the historian Josep Fontana (Ed. Crítica-Planeta), and co-author of "Women and memory. Exiles and silences in the 20th century" (Ed. Catriel). I have belonged to the Ravensbrück Association for many years and my husband belongs to the Mauthausen Association because his grandfather died in Gusen. In 2008 I began collecting testimonies from survivors of the Civil War in Spain, the Second World War, and the Deportation (by visiting Nazi camps) in France, Germany, Austria, Italy, and Western Siberia. After delving deeper into the victims' experience and interviewing more than 50 survivors for books and articles, I became interested in another aspect, that of justice. I attended one of the last trials in our history, in 2019, against a former Nazi guard from the Stutthof camp in the German city of Münster. Likewise, I consulted the archives of the Zentrale Stelle in Ludwigsburg, interviewing its director and some of the main prosecutors.
