The personal stories of ten men, who were repressed and murdered by the Franco regime between August 1939 and December 1940, have come to light with their exhumation at Paterna Cemetery. These individuals, civilians who supported the Republican side, were arrested and executed for political reasons, such as affiliation with unions or parties, even years after the war ended.

Most of the exhumed were arrested while they were working, demonstrating their innocence. They were found in pits 112 and 126, forming part of the total 2,238 people murdered and buried in Paterna. The recovery of their remains represents an act of reparation for their families.

Among the exhumed is Eliseo Garrido Benavent, a farmer from Castelló de la Ribera, executed on August 29, 1939. Salvador Fuertes Llorens, from La Pobla de Vallbona, a member of Esquerra Republicana and a field guard, was murdered on August 29, 1940. Pedro Senabre Hernández, a worker and assault guard from Moncada, was executed on August 27, 1940.

The memory of Francisco Garrigós Cremades, a railway worker affiliated with UGT from Xixona, executed on September 14, 1940, and his son, whose death sentence was commuted, has also been recovered. Amadeo Lechiguero Ferrando, a 23-year-old farmer from Sueca, was murdered on November 30, 1939, six months after his brother was executed in the same town.

Francisco Folch Peris, a CNT representative from Sollana, was arrested upon returning from the war and executed on November 30, 1939. Juan Bautista Boloix Llop, a farmer from Albalat de la Ribera, was falsely accused and executed in December 1939. Miguel Miralles Serer, whose story has not been widely known, has also been exhumed.

Salvador Oller Piera, a chauffeur from Riola, was executed on November 30, 1939, at the age of 31, considered innocent by his relatives. Finally, Vicente Salón de las Nieves, a farmer affiliated with CNT from Cullera, was arrested due to a neighbor's denunciation and executed, as recounted by his great-granddaughter, journalist Mónica Ros.
