Monastic life and political conflict (1931–1945)

Abstract

These notes try to bring us certain aspects of the daily life Dominicans of Valladolid (who also assumed other religious communities). They did so without fracturing the monastic normality, also allowing the community relations with the citizen–political environment. The chosen reference corresponds to a historical convent, located in the city since 13^th Century, which now focuses its attentions on its possible manifestations and/or silences during the brief and conflictive period of the Second Republic and the Spanish Civil War. Two specifics moments that approach us the recent pass through the domestic information currently deposited in its convent archive.
