It is entitled Through My Eyes: Stories of Conflict, Belonging and Identity.
The site is easy to access at www.throughmyeyes.org.uk and, after clicking Historical context then Basque Evacuees, you are able to view newly digitalised photographs and listen to the personal testimonies of four of the niños, who came to Britain in May 1937.
Josefina Stubbs and Carmen Smith (the Antolín sisters), Álvaro Velasco and Herminio Martinéz all give extremely interesting and moving accounts of their experiences.
Anyone who has not visited the site is strongly recommended to do so. Sadly, Álvaro Velasco died recently.
