Like every year, Deportation Day was marked by a ceremony which took place in front of the War Memorial on Place Foch in Rugles (Eure).
Several elected officials, veterans and loyal flag bearers Michel Ferraut And Didier Mercier met there late Sunday morning.
A message for peace
In the absence of the mayor, Denis Guittonhe is the deputy, Alain Lepapevery attached to history and the duty of memory, who read the message of the Deportees and Internees associations.
A message recalling the horror and barbarity of the Nazi concentration camp and genocidal systems and inviting, in this once again chaotic period where world disorders threaten democracy and cause the suffering of innocent civilian populations, not to let down our guard.
“Let us remain mobilized against fanaticism, against the resurgence of ideologies of hatred and exclusion and unite in the same tribute all those human beings whose lives were crushed because of their resistance, their belief, their origin or their orientation sexual in the name of a racist, expressionist and dominant regime. More than ever our fight is that of freedom and peace.”
A minute of silence was observed in memory of the martyrs of the deportation, and two wreaths were laid, before the Marseillaise and the Partisan Song resounded under a gray sky and a wind that made the flags flap.
