Moisès Broggi

Moisès Broggi i Vallès (1908 to 2012) was a Catalan physician and pacifist who lived to the age of 104, born on 18 May 1908 and dying on 31 December 2012. He studied medicine at the University of Barcelona and worked as a field surgeon with the International Brigades during the Spanish Civil War. In 1981 he received the Creu de Sant Jordi. The Wikipedia article about him is brief, so this entry records only these documented points: his Catalan identity, his medical training in Barcelona, his service as a field surgeon in that war and his long life. His later career, his writings and the details of his pacifism are not covered by the page read and remain for further research rather than being guessed here.
