This Tuesday June 23, Marc Bloch will be inducted into Paris's Panthéon mausoleum. A leading 20th-century historian, he co-founded the French academic journal "Les Annales" and was also a soldier in both World Wars. Bloch, who was Jewish, joined the French Resistance during World War II and was tortured and executed by the Gestapo in 1944. Throughout his life, he embodied both intellectual rigour and an unwavering commitment to the French Republic. FRANCE 24's Florence Gaillard reports, with Florent Marchais.
