José Sánchez Rosa

Spanish autodidact, teacher, anarchist and anarcho-syndicalist.

A few days after the fascist uprising of 18 July 1936 he is arrested. A squad of Francoist Requetés loaded a truck with his books, pamphlets and all his documents, placing the old Anarchist teacher, who had taken to his sickbed suffering from diabetes, on a mattress on top of his confiscated library.

On the morning of August 1, 1936, he is placed up against a wall in the cemetery of Seville and shot. His body is then thrown into the mass grave.
