Emmanuel Macron begins on Sunday the “journey of memory” around the 80th anniversary of the Liberation. In the morning, the Head of State will reach the Glières plateau, in the Alps, the scene of battles which opposed the German army and the French militia to the resistance in March 1944.
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.
