Federico García Lorca
(1898- 1936) Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca was a Spanish poet, dramatist and theatre director. García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27. He is believed to be one of thousands who were summarily shot by anti-communist death squads during the Spanish Civil War. Francisco Franco's Falangist regime placed a general ban on García Lorca's work, which was not rescinded until 1953. It is thought that García Lorca was shot and killed by Nationalist militia on 19 August 1936, but the body has never been found, and it is not known the motive of his assassination (politics, personal issues, his homosexuality…etc).
