The Fédération nationale des déportés et internés résistants et patriotes (National Federation of Deported and Imprisoned Resistance Fighters and Patriots) is an organization founded by Marcel Paul and Henri Manhès in October 1945, five months after the defeat of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II.
Camp survivors took an oath at the scene of their suffering, vowing on behalf of the dead to ensure the future of man and his dignity.
In 1996, they donated 3,500,000 French francs (about 533,572 euros) to the International Red Cross for prosthetics for Angolan land mine victims.
The FNDIRP involves all the victims of Nazism and its Vichy government accomplices, members of the underground, people persecuted for race or ethnicity, exiles, patriotic resisters of the German occupation and families of the missing, murdered or massacred.
The FNDIRP was founded by Marcel Paul, a minister under Charles de Gaulle and French colonel, Henri Manhès, assistant to Jean Moulin.
