This Thursday at 10:30 AM Villa Paradiso – 24, Boulevard de Cimiez
On the occasion of the 73rd anniversary of the Liberation of Nice in 2017, historian Michel Goury conducted research on the numerous resistance fighters and the men whose courage allowed Nice to regain honor and freedom.
It was during this research that he discovered, contrary to what was previously thought, that police officer Emile Krieger from the René Canta group did not die in Nice on August 28, 1944, but rather in deportation in Austria on January 11, 1945.
On this anniversary of his death, a plaque will be unveiled during this ceremony, and a tribute will be paid to him at Villa Paradiso in the presence of fifth-grade students from the Arènes de Cimiez School, Michel Goury, historian Stéphane Morabito, historian Véronique Thuin, and Jean-Louis Panicacci, President of the Museum of the Resistance.
