Place of remembrance representing commemorative plaques to honor the Germans in the ditches of the citadel of Arras.

Between August 21, 1941 and July 21, 1944, 218 resistance fighters were executed by the Germans in the ditches of the citadel of Arras. The youngest was barely 16 years old and the oldest 69. Those shot were of different nationalities: French, Polish, Belgian, Soviet, Portuguese, Italian, Hungarian, Czech and Yugoslav, from all social categories. Commemorative plaques pay tribute to them. The place 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.
