George Sossenko is an 87-year old veteran of the Spanish Civil War. At the age of 16, he left his home in France to fight against Franco's fascists with the anarchsists of the Durruti column. A dedicated, life-long anarchist, George is still an active organizer as he travels and gives lectures on this important period in revolutionary history.
2006 marks the 70 year anniversary of the Spanish Civil War. George came to Montreal to give a presentation at the Montreal Anarchist Bookfair. We spoke at DIRA, an anarchist lending library in Montreal. Here, he talks about his life, the courageous people's war against fascism, and the present-day possibilities for anarchism.
