IV.4.3.1.e. MYSTIFICATION

MENU: 4.3.1.e. Mystification

THE USUAL VIEW STARTS WITH AN UNLIKELY DRAMA... 

to introduce a Communard violence that was (almost) absent.  

Baroness Danute

"Condemned to death by a cursory judgement, both [generals] are shot by a firing squad of their own soldiers."

In brief

• Emblematic site, odd marker

• A firing squad that makes no sense

• Versaillais propaganda that tells the truth

• "The hostages of the rue Haxo," the other publicized killing

• Catholic martyrs whom even the Church forgets

• Whose violence? The comeback of the Versaillais myth 

• Schoolbooks buttress the mindset the ads promote 

• The City Museum before renovation (in 2016-2022)...

• ...and after it

• "To the victors belong the spoils"
