Ceremony of 27 April
The National Day of Remembrance of the Victims and Heroes of Deportation, celebrated every last Sunday in April, was established in France in 1954 to honor the memory of the deportees of the Second World War, victims of the Nazi concentration and extermination camps.
This date was chosen because it is close to the liberation of the camps, notably:
This day is essential to pass on memory to younger generations and to remind us that such acts and atrocities must never be repeated.
In Tulle, this ceremony took place at the Haut Lieu de Cueille, as shown in the photographs below.
