Amalia Abad Casasempere
Amalia Abad Casasempere (Alcoy, 11 December 1897 – Alcoy, 21 September 1936) was a Catholic woman killed during the Spanish Civil War. She was a widow and mother of two daughters, very active in church service, who hid two nuns in her house during the civil war.[1][2] She was imprisoned and executed by the militia. For her actions she was one of 233 people beatified by Pope John Paul II on 11 March 2001,[3] as martyrs of the Spanish Civil War (the name given by the Catholic Church to those killed by Republicans because of their faith).[2]
