Remembering Dominique Venner

 

Remembering Dominique Venner:
April 16, 1935–May 21, 2013

By Greg Johnson

Ex: http://www.counter-currents.com

It was one year ago today that French historian and European patriot Dominique Venner ended his life with a bullet on the altar of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris. Venner wished to draw attention to the demographic decline of European man and to indicate what we must be prepared to give to save our people: everything. But his death will be in vain unless it is remembered. So take this day to remember Dominique Venner: his life, his work, and his sacrifice.
