The plaque was placed at the site of the last historic complaint about fascist electoral fraud in 1924. Amidst cross-party applause and significant absences, historical memory confirms itself as a harsh battleground.

On this day, 26 May 1944, a general strike broke out in Marseille, Vichy France, following a strike by shipyard workers the previous day, who protested after not receiving their bread rations.
Workers around the city assembled in their factories and decided to continue the strike. Metalworkers, construction workers, public servants and transport workers all walked out, shutting down the city. In particular, railway workers, who hadn't gone on strike since 1921, returned trains to the station and stopped the railways. Women demonstrated in front of the City Hall demanding "bread!". Police arrested numerous workers, but the strike continued. By the following day, newspaper workers had joined the strike as well.
On May 27, the Gestapo began an intense wave of repression, arresting 15,000 workers and detaining them at Braibant. That same day, the Allies launched one of the most deadly bombing raids of the war on Marseille, particularly targeting the railways. It killed 1752 people, injured many more and left 18,000 homeless.
The repression and the bombing brought an end to the strike.
However, the German crackdown was short-lived, as Marseille was liberated soon after.

On this day, 19 May 1933, Germany's N**i government abolished collective bargaining – the principal of workers together negotiating with employers over pay and conditions. Instead, conditions were to be regulated by labour "trustees", appointed by Hi**er.
The following year, the system was refined to designate owners of individual enterprises as local "fuehrers", with complete control of workplaces and the ability to "make decisions for employees and labourers in all matters concerning the enterprise". In 1935, the N**is introduced compulsory labour service for 18-25-year-olds, militarily conscripting young workers into employment.
Workers were banned from changing jobs without permission, and maximum working hours were increased from 60 to 72 hours per week, while workplace illnesses rocketed.
It was just one of many ways the N**i regime benefited big business, and helped keep workers' wages low, with the US government stating that "It was by such bait that the great German industrialists were induced to support the N**i cause".
Some working-class young people rejected Na**sm and instead formed gangs called Edelweiss Pirates. Learn about them in our podcast episode 72: https://workingclasshistory.com/podcast/72-edelweiss-pirates-swing-kids/
