Jacques Decour (born Daniel Decourdemanche; 21 February 1910, in Paris – 30 May 1942, in Fort Mont-Valérien), was a French writer, Germanist, essayist, translator and resistant fighter, executed by the Nazis.

1931

In 1931, he was named assistant of French at the Domgymnasium in Magdeburg in Prussia.

There, he wrote his first book, Philisterburg, which described the risks of nationalism and the "inadmissible myth of race".

Daniel Decourdemanche was then appointed as a teacher of German in Reims where he joined the French Young Communist movement.

He was then moved to Tours where he joined the Communist Party.

He began his studies in law, but, after a few years changed his orientation and studied German literature and was the youngest student to pass the competitive examination of agrégation in German in 1932.

Imprisoned in La Santé by the Germans, he was executed on 30 May 1942, one week after Georges Politzer and Jacques Solomon.

In the cell where he was waiting for his execution in Fort Mont-Valérien, he wrote a letter saying goodbye to those he loved: his parents and his daughter Brigitte.

Resigned to his forthcoming death, he expressed his confidence in youth, and hoped that his sacrifice would not be in vain.

"Je me considère un peu comme une feuille qui tombe de l’arbre pour faire du terreau. La qualité du terreau dépendra de celle des feuilles. Je veux parler de la jeunesse française, en qui je mets tout mon espoir."

"I think of myself as a leaf that falls from the tree to make soil. The quality of the soil will depend on that of the leaves. I mean French youth, in whom I put all my hope."
