    The monument to the martyrs of resistance and deportation, designed by architect Louis Sollier, is located on the Hautes promenades, as a counterpoint to the monument to the victims of the First World War on Place de la République.
    The memorial, inaugurated ten years after the end of the Second World War on May 8, 1955, consists of a huge block of granite measuring nine by six meters with the inscription: "À la Résistance". On both sides of the granite block, plates with the names of the resistance fighters and the deportees as well as the civilian victims commemorate the Nazi dictatorship in Reims. An urn with the ashes of the murdered from the crematoria of the Mauthausen, Flossenbürg, Bergen-Belsen and Neuengamme concentration camps is embedded in the granite.
    On ne l'oubliera jamais.

      This resistance memorial in Reims was inaugurated on May 8, 1955, after a decade-long planning process that saw five different architectural proposals rejected before the final design was approved. The monument consists of a massive 9x6.5-meter Breton granite block bearing the inscription "À la Résistance," with side plaques listing 174 names of local resistance fighters and deportees who died during Nazi occupation.

      An urn containing ashes collected from four Nazi concentration camps (Mauthausen, Flossenbürg, Bergen-Belsen, and Neuengamme) is sealed within the monument, marked by a grill designed as barbed wire created by students from the local technical college.

        The memorial's funding came from a public subscription that raised over one million francs, with additional contributions from various political parties, unions, and resistance organizations spanning the entire political spectrum.
