On a somber summer day in 1944, the air in Rue Henri Manigart crackled with tension. This street, usually a quiet corner of Aubervilliers, became a focal point of resistance against the occupying German forces. A man named Emile Segard, a member of the French Forces of the Interior, found himself thrust into a leadership role on this very street. He was appointed by Henri Manigart, the local resistance leader who gave his name to this street. Segard led a small group of twelve men against the heavily armed German troops. Then tragedy struck on August 20th. German tanks rolled down Rue Henri Manigart, their guns blazing. Emile Segard, caught in the crossfire, was killed at the intersection of Rue du Goulet and Rue du Moutier. His sacrifice, along with the lives of other brave individuals on that fateful day, paved the path for the liberation of Aubervilliers. Today, Rue Henri Manigart stands as a testament to their courage and a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.
