PARDO DE SANTAMAYA, Pelayo-Jardón. Post-war and Post-Truth: The Masonic Affiliation of Margarita Nelken. REHMLAC [online]. 2019, vol.11, n.1, pp.90-98. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac.v11i1.36956.
After the Spanish Civil War, the representative Margarita Nelken (1893-1968) was tried by the Special Tribunal for the Repression of Freemasonry and Communism. She was accused of the crimes of Freemasonry and communism and judged by default. Her connections with organizations such as the Free Institute of Education and the Spanish League of Human Rights were taken as hints that she was a member of Freemasonry. The only physical evidence her accusers had was a recommendation letter issued by the Barcelonese lodge Lealtad in 1924. However, the letter didn’t belong to her, but to a cabaret singer named Stella Margarita. Despite the lack of evidence, she was found guilty of having joined Freemasonry.
