Missak and Mélinée Manouchian, two foreign communist resistance fighters, have been buried in the Pantheon of Paris. French President Emmanuel Macron spoke at the ceremony.
A video fresco, projected on the facade, develops the four main facets of Missak's life: Armenian childhood, stateless worker poet, resistance activists, arrest and death. “I leave behind me my dark condition of an orphan woven of misery and deprivation. I am still a teenager drunk on a dream of books and paper,” Missak wrote.
