8. Noticia: Ha fallecido Maryse Bertrand de Muñoz. Su colega, Emilia Inés Deffis, comparte con los socios la siguiente reflexión: “Maryse Bertrand de Muñoz fue, en el mismo momento en que yo cortaba raíces en Buenos Aires para replantarlas en tierra canadiense, una especie de hada madrina. Y lo hizo de manera muy concreta. Fue la primera persona que me ofreció la oportunidad de enseñar en Montreal. Todos aquellos que dejaron tras de sí familia, trabajo y cultura saben lo que esto significa. A partir de ahí, su investigación significó siempre para mí una inspiración y, casi sin darme cuenta, mis intereses me llevaron a estudiar la memoria histórica, campo que ella dominó en lo relativo a la guerra civil española. Maryse dejó una obra monumental, y varias generaciones de investigadores aprovecharán el fruto de sus trabajos. Hoy quiero evocar a la mujer, sensible, abierta y generosa. A la que tanto me dio sin hacer ruido ni ceremonias. Buen viaje, mi querida Maryse, mi corazón acoge con toda ternura la luz de tu recuerdo.”
