30 October 1977,

For the first time, the population shot by the Francoists at the Hernani cemetery in 1936 was publicly praised. Until then, tributes were held in secret. About 300 people were shot and buried by the Francoists in this Guipuzkoan town, including José Ariztimuño Aitzol. However, in the archeological study carried out by the Society of Aranzadi in 2003, no remains of rifles were found with surprise, but a box for moving remains. The hypotheses suggest that, by 1960, someone could have pulled out the remains and taken them somewhere else.
