Names of part of the more than 1 000 Resistants and hostages executed by Nazi Germany on the French soil, Mont-Valérien

Among those executed at Mont-Valérien, 40% were hostages, 60% were 'tried', condemned to death by Nazi German military tribunals and executed by German soldiers.

65% of the executed were communists (entered the Resistance from the end of 1941), 17% were Jewish (out of a proportion in French population of less than 1 %), and 20% were foreigners (like the 'Affiche Rouge' Resistance group members).
