With the passing of those who witnessed National Socialism and the Holocaust, the archive matters as never before.

In the waning days and immediate aftermath of World War II, Nazi diplomats and spies based in Spain decided to stay rather than return to a defeated Germany.

What we see through our windshields reflects ideas about our national identity, consumerism, and infrastructure.
