Le Conseil Municipal de Saint-Denis rend hommage à ces combattants de la liberté.
(English translation:)
Between 1940 and 1944, there were women and men who lived in Saint-Denis and were involved in Resistance movements for the liberation of France. Many were arrested, tortured, and shot by the regime of Nazi Germany, with the complicity of the French authorities of the Vichy government. Here lie twenty-four of them.
The Municipal Council of Saint-Denis pays tribute to these freedom fighters.
