Interview to Ramon Font

INTRODUCTION

In our work of Oral History, we wanted to interview our grandparents, but it was impossible for us for different reasons. Among the possible options, we opted for Ramon Font, a neighbor Pradenc of life, who told us what his life and that of his family were like during the postwar period.Ramon was born on July 30, 1937 in a small town of the province of Barcelona, ​​in Prats de Lluçanès. He is now 81 years old.He is a single child, therefore, his parents only had to worry about caring for him and they did not have much difficulty speaking financially.As we will explain throughout the work, her family were not very political and did not get into some mess. His father lived the Spanish Civil War; Specifically, he played a task in which he had to remove the corpses that were on the edges of the road. It was a very tough time of his life. He did not have to go to the army due to his advanced age.
