with Missak Manouchian, accompanied by Mélinée, all foreign resistance fighters will enter the Pantheon on February 21, 2024. Whether they are political refugees or economic immigrants, naturalized or even born in France, these men and women, including many Jews, fought in metropolitan France but also in the colonies and abroad and played a crucial role in the Resistance against the Occupier and the Vichy regime.
To accompany this Panthenisation of a resolutely universalist dimension, the exhibition focuses on the Parisian FTP-MOI while extending it to the various modalities of the resistant commitment of foreigners. From various political mobilities, within the internal resistance as well as free France, it is around France of human rights, France of the Enlightenment that these plural identities were combined.
