These students remember

Two south west lycéennes have won prizes in a nationwide competition to investigate "deportation and resistance". Nearly 2000 schools entered over 40000 pieces of work in various categories, and two 17 year olds, one from Tarbes and one from Toulouse, were awarded prizes which enabled them to accompany elderly resistants to the sites of German deportation.

Robert Carriere was a Toulouse resistant who was deported to a concentration camp during the last war and accompanied the winners and 15 other teenagers in a voyage organised by the Museum of Resistance and Deportation.
