Mémorial du mur des fusillés d'Arras, War memorial at Arras citadel, France
The Memorial Wall of the Executed features 218 commemorative plaques mounted on the citadel walls, recording the names of resistance fighters.
Between August 1941 and July 1944, German forces executed 218 members of the resistance movement from nine different countries at this location.
The memorial serves as a testament to the international nature of resistance, with victims from France, Poland, Belgium, Soviet Union, and other European nations.
Located in the Citadel's moat, the memorial site remains open throughout the year with no entrance fee for visitors seeking historical reflection.
A replica execution post stands at the site where resistance members faced their deaths, providing a direct connection to the events of World War II.
