While France hosts grandiose ceremonies commemorating D-Day, the heroic role of Missak Manouchian's Resistance fighters in World War II is often overlooked. French President Emmanuel Macron is seeking to change that by inducting Manouchian into the Panthéon national monument on Wednesday. Manouchian was a poet who took refuge in France after surviving the Armenian genocide. He was executed in 1944 for fighting fascism and leading resistance to Nazi occupation. Armenia's prime minister will also attend Wednesday's ceremony. The Panthéon is the final resting place of France's most revered figures.
