L'affiche rouge (Poem)

L'affiche rouge (Poem)

"L'Affiche rouge" is a song on the album "Léo Ferré chante Aragon" (1959) by Léo Ferré. Its lyrics are based on the poem "Strophes pour se souvenir" (Strophes to help you remember) which Louis Aragon wrote in 1955 for the inauguration of a street in the 20th arrondissement in Paris, named "rue du Groupe Manouchian" in honor of 23 members of the FTP-MOI executed by the Nazis in the Mont-Valérien. The affair became known by the name of the "Affiche rouge" ("Red Poster") because the Germans plastered Paris in the spring of 1944 with thousands of red posters denouncing the Resistants.

The poem paraphrases Missak Manouchian's last letter to his wife.
