The Magistrate-Judge in charge of the Central Civil Registry publishes in the BOE an edict that includes the most complete list of the Spanish deceased in the concentration camps of Mauthausen and Gusen, a total of 4427 victims, so that the relatives and other relatives of these can present allegations and corrections within a month. After this period of allegations, they will be registered as deceased in the Central Civil Registry itself, a condition that they do not yet have.

The information collected by the General Directorate of Registries and Notaries comes from the corresponding books that are kept at the headquarters of the Central Civil Registry on the Spaniards who died in the aforementioned Nazi concentration camps and has been collated with other databases to carry out the relevant checks. The edict contains two web addresses through which the interested parties can access the final list and present the arguments they consider appropriate.

This initiative is part of the measures included in the Law of Historical Memory as thanks and reparation to the more than ten thousand Spaniards who were deported to the Nazi concentration camps, deprived of their Spanish nationality by decision of the Franco government, declared stateless and of whom more than five thousand lost their lives there.

The Council of Ministers, at its meeting on April 26, 2019, approved the establishment of May 5 as a day of tribute to the Spanish deported and deceased in Mauthausen and other camps and to all the victims of Nazism in Spain.
