In October of 1941, two German officers are gunned down in broad daylight in Nantes by
French Resistance members, the first instance of German blood to be shed in this region. In
retaliation, Hitler orders 100 Frenchmen to be shot. Instead of innocent Frenchmen, it was
later arranged that 100 political prisoners would die, selected by the district administrator
from a camp in Brittany where Môquet and others like him are incarcerated for various
offences. Môquet himself was guilty of distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets.
The harshness of Hitler’s order leaves the inhabitants of the camp in disbelief. Môquet,
at age 17, is the youngest of all the prisoners to be executed. This event quickly becomes
known as one of France’s many World War 2 atrocities, and in the years following his death,
Môquet was mourned and remembered by his countrymen. The prisoners are forced to
grapple with their consciences and reflect on the impact they have had on the resistance
against the Nazis and their other fellow comrades. Môquet’s last letter, written before his
execution, has become one of France’s proud relics, and since 2007 has become required
reading of French school children.
