Abstract

After highlighting the nature of memory and oblivion in its relationship with history and indicating the importance and the risks on memory in the events of history, this article focuses on the study of the manipulation and confiscation of school memory, particularly during Francoism, focusing its interest on both the political justification and the actions carried out on the places and on the depositaries of the memory in which the confiscation is implemented and the consequence of this repressive policy: the rectification of the school memory and the invention of a new memory. The moral dimension of the uses of memory and oblivion with regard to policies and people closes this work.
