On August 24th, we noticed a crowd across the street from our apartment. They were gathered on the corner by the school yard. There were old men dressed in military uniforms with flags and wreaths. A man on the street told us that they were having a memorial service to honor the 60 innocent French people that were assassinated in the school yard by German troops on August 24, 1944 at five o'clock in the evening. I have noticed other smaller plaques on buildings around the neighborhood stating that people were killed by the Gestapo in that place. It is difficult to imagine that such terrible things took place in this lovely part of the world.
