Rencontre dédicace avec l’historien Guy Avizou

Conference on the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of the Creuse, by Guy AVIZOU, Christophe MOREIGNE and Christian PENOT. After the suffering of the Occupation period, the spring and summer of 1944 saw the Liberation of the Creuse in two stages. After the short-lived initial liberation of Guéret by Resistance forces from June 7 to 9, the entire department was finally liberated on August 25. Before the jubilation of the people celebrating their new-found freedom, this period was riddled with tragedies and massacres perpetrated by Nazi forces. The three speakers will bring these events to life.
