New! Exhibition "Foreigners in the Resistance in France"

Friday, February 02, 2024

With Missak Manouchian, accompanied by Mélinée, all the foreign resistance fighters will enter the Panthéon 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 Occupant and the Vichy regime.

To accompany this Pantheonization with a resolutely universalist dimension, the exhibition focuses on the Parisian FTP-MOI while extending it to various modalities of the resistant commitment of foreigners. From various political movements, within the internal resistance as well as in Free France, it is around the France of human rights and the France of the Enlightenment that these plural identities were combined.
