“When the bullets flowered, there were twenty-three of them, twenty-three who had given their hearts beforehand, twenty-three foreigners who were our brothers…” In 1955, French poet Aragon wrote these lines for a group of immigrants who dedicated themselves to France. Back in 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 in multiple assassination missions against the Nazis and their puppets. Soon, they became a thorn in the Nazis' side, and the police managed to suppress their actions through surveillance, denunciations, blackmail, and torture. On February 21, 1944, 22 men, including Manouchian, and one woman were sentenced to death. These twenty-three individuals were referred to by the Nazis as the "Immoral Unit," but thereafter, their image appeared across the country on red propaganda flyers, and these foreign immigrants who sacrificed themselves for the freedom of France ultimately became legendary heroes of this nation.
