Guy Môquet, born April 26, 1924 in Paris and died October 22, 1941 in Châteaubriant (Loire-Inférieure), was a communist militant, famous for having been the youngest of the forty-eight hostages shot on October 22, 1941, in Châteaubriant , Nantes and Paris in retaliation after the death of Karl Hotz.
His name, more particularly associated with that of the twenty-seven executed at the Châteaubriant camp, has gone down in history as a symbol of the French heroes and martyrs of the German Occupation during the Second World War.
