During the French Revolution, 147 communists and socialists were shot and left dead in a trench. The Communards wall within the cemetery of Père Lachaise fast became a symbol of a French socialist hope. Leaders and members of the French Communist Party were also buried at the cemetery near this wall. It is by this wall that the masses, through history, continued to protest. In May every year, there is a commemorative ceremony for those who lost their lives in the massacre.
