A place of remembrance featuring commemorative plaques honouring the Germans in the ditches of the Arras citadel.

Between August 21, 1941 and July 21, 1944, 218 members of the Resistance were executed by the Germans in the ditches of the Arras citadel. The youngest was 16 and the oldest 69. These Frenchmen, Poles, Belgians, Soviets, Portuguese, Italians, Hungarians, Czechs and Yugoslavs, from all walks of life, perished for their convictions. 218 commemorative plaques pay tribute to them. The memorial was inaugurated on September 18, 1949 by Guy Mollet.

Lieu chargé d'histoire et assez émouvant. N'hésitez pas à venir en fin de journée, pour pouvoir apprécier toute la tranquillité du lieu.

Un mémorial émouvant qui documente l'histoire de la Résistance dans cette ville. A voir pour une petite marche après le repas ou les visites à l'intérieur.
