The Wall of Hostages

The Wall of Hostages
The Wall of Hostages

Description

Some 100 soldiers from the 157th Reserve Division of the German army invaded the village on July 22, 1944. All the men aged 16 to 60 were rounded up and taken from their homes or the surrounding forest and fields. They were lined up for hours with their faces against the school wall with a machine gun pointing at them. The members of the Resistance who had been informed on were separated from the rest of the group and moved close to the village pond.Thirty-two hostages, escorted by the German soldiers, were taken down to Saint-Barthélemy on foot, where a bus transported them to the Bonne barracks in Grenoble. Almost all the hostages were set free on July 26 after being interrogated several times.
