Emmanuel Macron launches celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the Liberation. Head of State is expected at the national necropolis of Thônes, in Haute-Savoie, where 105 resistance fighters rest.
He will then go in the afternoon to the Maison d'Izieu (Ain), where 44 Jewish children were rounded up by the Gestapo on the orders of Klaus Barbie on April 6, 1944. All were deported and murdered in the Auschwitz camps. In Izieu, Emmanuel Macron will recall that “the sole basis of anti-Semitism is hatred"
