Missak Manouchian will be buried at the Pantheon on February 20, 2024. A funeral vigil took place on the site of his execution by the Nazis, 80 years earlier, at the age of 37.
Several hundred people attended the event at Mont-Valérien, in Hauts-de-Seine. His pantheonization aims to honor all “communist and foreign resistance”, according to details from the Elysée. The names of 22 fellow fighters, who made up the group of Francs-tireurs and supporters of immigrant labor, were called.
