THE FRATERNIZATION MONUMENT
Monument of Fraternizations, built to revive the memory of an event suppressed by history in Neuville-Saint-Vaast.
The Monument des Fraternisations was built to revive the memory of an event suppressed by history. At Christmas 1915, French and German soldiers fraternized in the face of the horror of war. For a few hours, the fighting ceased, then this impulse of humanity sank as the fighting resumed. Louis Barthas wrote in his War Diaries: "Perhaps one day, on this corner of Artois, a monument will be erected to commemorate this surge of brotherhood."
