Seconde Guerre mondiale - Plaque mémorielle

On 6 June 1944, Joseph Fimbel, an Alsatian Resistance fighter living in the commune, was killed by Germans from the Paray Kommandantur, who surrounded his house during the night on a tip-off. After killing several Germans, Joseph either died or killed himself.

A few metres from here, in the Chemin des Nicolins (now the Chemin Joseph Fimbel), his wife Lina and Angèle Lamanthe, a member of the Resistance, were both arrested, imprisoned, interned at Romainville and then deported to Ravensbrück. They returned in May 1945.

Today, a plaque commemorates the memory and commitment of Joseph Fimbel.
