[ES] “Nació en Madrid en el seno de una familia obrera, eran ocho hermanos. Su padre, sus tíos, su abuelo, todos eran alicatadores.
A los 12 años dejó el colegio y mintió sobre su edad para poder entrar en una empresa de aprendiz de ebanista. A los 15 años ya militaba en las Juventudes Socialistas. Durante la Guerra recibió formación como tankista. A los 20 ya era capitán y estuvo en las grandes batallas, Teruel, Ebro...
Al pasar a Francia estuvo internado en Septfonds.
En diciembre de 1940 es deportado al campo de concentración de Mauthausen.
Allí, su oficio de ebanista le salva de ir a la cantera. Desde el principio formó parte del grupo de resistencia dentro del campo y formó parte también del grupo de deportados que ayudaron a salvar y sacar las fotos fuera del Campo. Fotos que fueron utilizadas en los juicios de Núremberg.
Después de la liberación se instaló en París. Y como dijo su hija empezó otro exilio y su militancia clandestina dentro del partido comunista.
Su stolperstein se puso el 28 de mayo de 2021 en la calle José Calvo número 7.”

[EN] “He was born in Madrid into a working-class family, there were eight brothers. His father, his uncles, his grandfather, they were all tilers.
At the age of 12, he dropped out of school and lied about his age in order to enter a company as a cabinetmaker's apprentice. At the age of 15 he was already a member of the Socialist Youth. During the War he received training as a tanker. At 20 he was already a captain and was in the great battles, Teruel, Ebro...
When going to France he was interned in Septfonds.
In December 1940 he was deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp.
There, his trade as a cabinetmaker saves him from going to the quarry. From the beginning he was part of the resistance group inside the camp and was also part of the group of deportees who helped save and take the photos outside the camp. Photos that were used at the Nuremberg trials.
After the liberation he settled in Paris. And as his daughter said, he began another exile and his clandestine militancy within the communist party.
His stolperstein was placed on May 28, 2021 at number 7 José Calvo street.”
