Armenian Resistance fighter Manouchian joins France's Pantheon heroes • FRANCE 24 English

A stateless Armenian poet who died fighting the Nazi occupation of France during World War II becomes on Wednesday the first non-French Resistance fighter to enter the Pantheon mausoleum for national heroes. The honour to Missak Manouchian has been seen as long-overdue recognition of the bravery of foreign communists -- many Jewish -- who fought the Nazis alongside members of the French Resistance.
