Summary
In the late 1940s, in the wake of the Liberation, it was the communist-aligned Fédération nationale des déportés et internés résistants et patriotes that took the lead in commemorating the heroes of the Resistance who had died in the camps. It did so in the name of anti-fascist solidarity, and survivors of many political persuasions rallied to its ranks. Under FNDIRP’s aegis, a rough dozen camp memorials were erected in a corner of Père-Lachaise cemetery in Paris, the first of which, dedicated to Auschwitz victims, was dedicated in 1949.
