About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

Reached on foot a few yards from the end of the Avenue du Mémorial des Fusillés, simple wrought iron gates lead to the foot of the walls of the great Vauban Citadel, where a stark column marks the actual place of execution of 216 members of the Resistance, trade unionists and communists, killed there by firing squad during the Occupation of the Second World War. The individual square memorials, mounted on the walls themselves, give the place of origin, occupation, and political affiliations of each of the victims. Many were Polish miners; the youngest was 16 and the oldest 69.
