The battle of Madrid became one of the most represented issues of the Spanish Civil War. With the front located just in the city limits, the scenes of combats and the suffering of a population subjected to violence and bombing were used as images for denunciation and political propaganda. But the memory of what has been lived can also lead to an exercise of intimate creation. We present a series of unpublished drawings made by Ángel Díaz Domínguez as a testimony of life in besieged Madrid.
