Dimanche 28 avril, pour la Journée nationale du souvenir des victimes et des héros de la déportation, une cérémonie était organisée devant la stèle de la Résistance au parc de la Victoire.

In front of the Resistance memorial, the civil and military authorities, in particular the sub-prefect Véronique Martin Saint-Léon, the standard bearers and representatives of memorial associations met late Sunday morning on the occasion of the National Day of Remembrance of the Victims and Heroes of the Deportation.

An opportunity to salute "the memory of these courageous women and men who stood up to say no to barbarism, no to war, no to racism, no to anti-Semitism by perpetuating the universalist tradition of our country. Their courage and determination in their fight for freedom still command respect today, indicated Michel Durand, 1st deputy in charge of veterans.

"Beyond the indispensable memory, the first fidelity to the memory of those to whom we pay homage constitutes continuing their fight because as Lucie Aubrac declared, the verb resist must always be conjugated in the present tense. At a time when new threats are striking all over the world and claiming to divide us."
