Tribute to political prisoners and prisoners of war 1940-1945.

The text states "L'administration communale de Chimay, les prisonniers politiques, les prisonniers de guerre se souviennent 1945 - 1975".

The year 1975 is of great significance for the political prisoners of the Second World War due to the establishment of the National Foundation for Political Prisoners Dachau (NSPD) in the Netherlands. This foundation was established to represent the interests of political prisoners who served in the Dachau concentration camp and other camps during the Second World War.

The activities consist of organizing commemorations, meetings, and publishing information about the experiences of political prisoners.
