Description

Lecture by Michel Germain, historian of the Resistance.
While the Italian occupation was not marked by major acts of violence, the German occupation left behind memories of dramatic events: - The abduction of the "Canadiennes" at the Mino brewery. - The Tom Morel incident in front of the Sainte-Famille building in January 1944. - The major roundup on March 2, 1944—a market day—and the arrest of Jean Moënne. - The events at Les Glières and their tragic aftermath. The toll on the Pays Rochois was heavy, a fact reflected in the overcrowded war memorial in La Roche-sur-Foron.
