A film, a book and visits
“Do you know Mario? » For weeks, the SS interrogated, under an avalanche of rage and hatred, the resistance fighters of the Mario group, named after the pseudonym of their leader, Jean Burger.
This is one of the threads that Dominique Hennequin decided to draw on, in his documentary dedicated to the history of the Queuleu special interrogation camp. This Sunday, participants in Departmental Memory Day had the first look at some extracts. In mid-November, it will be broadcast at the Le Klub cinema, then on Moselle TV, the channels of the Grand Est broadcasting network and on Histoire TV.
Dominique Hennequin wanted to freeze this memory for a long time. He immersed himself in the archives, in images and testimonies, of the resistance groups in Moselle, Mario, Derhan-De Gaulle, Mithritate. “I wanted to show that these networks had a real network, throughout the Moselle. And tell this little-known story, never really reintegrated into national memory. We put a bit of a handkerchief over it, because we wanted to build Europe. »
To celebrate these eighty years, the Fort de Queuleu association is working hard. A memorial work retracing the biographies of the 1,500 camp inmates will be published in the spring. And visits are organized every Sunday at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. They are open to everyone.
