IV.4.3.1.e. MYSTIFICATION

MENU: 4.3.1.e. Mystification

THE MAINSTREAM VIEW OF LA COMMUNE

BEGINS WITH AN IMPOSSIBLE DRAMA

And continues with an insistance

on Communard violence

that was (almost) absent 

Baroness Danuté

"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

• Shootings and panic: the hostages of rue Haxo

• Catholic martyrs whom even the Church forgets

• The myth of Communard violence

• A corrected schoolbook sharpens its bias

• The City Museum before renovation...

• ...and after it

• "To the victors belong the spoils"
