Conference “Family and Everyday Resistance”

February 21, 2008

For Women’s Day, the association Mémoire et Espoirs de la Résistance organised a conference on “Family and Everyday Resistance”.

The talks were rich and interesting, and the experiences recounted were vivid and still so present in people’s memories.

We were extremely surprised and pleased to hear a presentation on Odette and Moussa and the work of the Marcel network by Madame Boyer-Ben Kemoun, agrégée teacher and head of the education department of the Mémorial du Maréchal Leclerc and the Musée Jean Moulin. Madame Boyer discovered the network thanks to Year 10 pupils who were preparing for the Resistance competition and had chosen to work on Odette and Moussa
