Memorial Rendeux-Haut

There is a memorial plaque at the old town hall of Rendeux-Haut in memory of Emile Dupont, resistance fighter, born in Rendeux-Haut on June 6, 1877 and died after returning from Buchenwald on May 20, 1945.
A street in the village was named after him.

The memorial plaque reads:
"Look... and remember this obscure thing.
But how pure a hero of the resistance
