On june 6 2010, Diego Giménez Moreno, veteran of the Spanish Civil War, has passed away in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. He was 99 years old and had Parkinson's syndrome.

Diego Giménez was born in april 10 1911 in Jumilla, Murcia, and entered the Spanish anarchist movement after the death of his father, when he was 17. Through the Federación Ibérica de Juventudes Libertárias he got in touch with the ideas of libertarian naturism, adopting vegetarianism and drug-free living. In 1931, Diego joined the CNT and became the secretary of the local Syndicate of Graphical Arts. Five years later, he would participate in the most successful event in anarchist history, the Spanish Revolution, joining the legendary Columna Durruti in the fight against fascism. After the defeat of the popular front to the Fracoist forces, Diego was arrested and sent to the concentration camp of Mauthausen, Austria, from which he managed to escape to France. He moved to São Paulo in 1942 and became a militant of the local anarchist groups Sociedade Naturista Amigos de Nossa Chácara (Friends of Our Farm Naturist Society) and Centro de Cultura Social (Center of Social Culture).
