The Parthenaisian author Jean-Claude Giraud has published six works to date. On Saturday November 23 and Sunday November 24, 2024, during the Thénezay Christmas market, a chalet was intended for the release of his sixth book entitled Thénezay 1939-1945, or a village under occupation.
He retraces political life, the fighting in the region, the German occupation, the resistance until the liberation. It answers a question that resonates in many municipalities: how did the inhabitants of Thénezay and its canton experience the arrival of the Germans and the four years of occupation that followed? According to Vincent Peignon, the editor of the work: “ It is above all a book which aims to have a historical ambition. »
Numerous period photos complete the stories.
