Biography

Secretary of the Revolutionary Committee of Defense (U.G.T. – P.C.E – I.R). However, before that, he was elected a town hall member. He was also a comptroller in the elections to deputies in the courts of February 1936. Together with some relatives, he was a rustic property rating board member as a representative of the City Council. After the Spanish Civil War, he worked, exiled, for his family in Sainte Colombe de Thuir (France). Finally, due to the Second World War, he decided to travel to Chile, where his cousin Francisco Mogino Juan had managed to arrive. However, although he had friends helping him from within the French entities, he failed. In 1940 he was arrested, imprisoned at stalag XI-B in Fallingbostel, and eventually sent to the Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp, where he was murdered at the age of 31 years.

Born on 15 September 1910, he was a factory worker as a mechanic at the factory called Bamboo in Spain. Good orator and active in political life, he left Muro del Alcoy in 1936 to fight fascism. Vicente fled into exile after fighting Fascism in Spain and confronted it again in France. At the beginning of the Second World War, he went to work for the compagnies de travailleurs étrangers in France. In 1940, Vicente was sent to the C.T.E. nº 140 in Ambonnay, then sent to Belfort to work on the construction of the Maginot line. The Nazis took him prisoner at the end of 1940. He was sent to the work companies and finally imprisoned in stalag XI-B in Fallingbostel. Like most Spanish Republicans captured by the Nazis, he was deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp (Austria). He arrived in Mauthausen on 27 January 1941 and was sent to Gusen where apparently he died of typhus.

His nephew, Joan Jordà
