Monument of the Martyrs of the Resistance

The triangular shape of the needle symbolizes the wedge that drove the resistance into the enemy's flank and also recalls the distinctive emblem worn on prisoners' striped clothing. The 16 urns placed in the cavities at the base contain human ashes and soil from several Nazi death camps, the Manchese maquis of Beaucoudray and Saint-Jean-du-Corail, as well as those of the Jura and Vercors where resistance fighters came from Manchese lost their lives.
