Summary/Abstract: In this paper we are going to study how historical memory can be recovered in the Spanish textbooks published in France in accordance with the last two reforms affecting the Official Programmes for Modern Languages (2010-2019). Not forgetting the victims of the Spanish civil war or those of the Franco dictatorship, recovering memory -involves inviting witnesses to history to give their testimonies, and this will be amply taken up in the creation of units in textbooks. The latter provide a wide variety of documents -excerpts of novels and of graphic novels as well as newspaper articles and posters- in wich reality and fiction allow us to retrace the individual histories of the victims and thus reconstruct a collective history.
