Lecture by Eric Branca: ‘The Second World War: The Last Secrets’
The Friday 13 November at 18 a.m00
Salle des fêtes Avenue Charles de Gaulle 14800 TOUQUES
To reject the unacceptable on behalf of an entire nation when its elites, crushed by defeat, chose resignation: this was the first act of wartime Gaullism.
From the handful of volunteers who answered the Call of 18 June to the soldiers who pursued the enemy to the heart of Europe, via the heroes of the Resistance, this lecture will trace one of the most extraordinary epics in French history through the testimonies of its key figures: Charles de Gaulle, Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, Jean Moulin, Félix Éboué, René Cassin, André Malraux and others.
A leading historian of Gaullism and former editor-in-chief of *Valeurs Actuelles*, Éric Branca will offer a fresh perspective on this decisive period and demonstrate how the lessons of the past remain essential for understanding the present and envisaging the future.
