AIME BOUSSANGE – ALEXANDRE AIMARD – AUGUSTE OLLIVIER Plaque

In the heart of Lyon, a somber stone plaque whispers tales of resistance and sacrifice. The AIME BOUSSANGE – ALEXANDRE AIMARD – AUGUSTE OLLIVIER Plaque, located on Rue Aimé Boussange, stands as a testament to the bravery of three individuals who defied Nazi tyranny during World War II. The AIME BOUSSANGE – ALEXANDRE AIMARD – AUGUSTE OLLIVIER Plaque immortalizes Aimé Boussange, Alexandre Aimard, and Auguste Ollivier. These men were members of the Resistance group Combat. They risked their lives for the liberation of France. The plaque’s inscription, etched in stone, reads “IN MEMORY OF OUR COMRADES OF THE RESISTANCE.” It lists Aimé Boussange, shot in November 1943, and Alexandre Aimard and Auguste Ollivier, who died in deportation in 1944. All three were victims of Nazi barbarity. Aimé Boussange worked at a pharmacy on Rue Dumenge. He was imprisoned at Montluc from November 2nd to 24th, 1943. He was later executed. A separate plaque on a nearby wall also commemorates his execution. Another plaque at 14 Rue de Nuits marks the location of the Boussange Brigade depot, which was discovered by the Vichy police. The AIME BOUSSANGE – ALEXANDRE AIMARD – AUGUSTE OLLIVIER Plaque serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war. It honors the courage of ordinary citizens who rose up against oppression. Their sacrifice will not be forgotten.
