“When the bullets bloom, there were twenty-three of them, twenty-three who had previously given their hearts, twenty-three foreigners who became our brothers…” In 1955, French poet Aragon wrote these lines for a group of immigrants who dedicated themselves to France. Back to 1943 during the German occupation of Paris, under the leadership of Armenian poet Missak Manouchian, a group of young Jews, Hungarians, Poles, Romanians, Spaniards, Italians, and Armenians formed an underground resistance organization, determined to fight for the liberation of the France they loved. They risked their lives, carrying out multiple assassination missions against the Nazis and their puppets. Soon, they became a thorn in the Nazis' side, and the police used tracking, informants, extortion, and torture to uncover and suppress their actions. On February 21, 1944, 22 men and one woman, including Manouchian, were sentenced to death. These twenty-three were referred to as "The Unvanquished" by the Nazis, but later their images appeared on red propaganda posters throughout the country, and these foreign immigrants who sacrificed themselves for the freedom of France became legendary heroes of the nation.
