Abstract
Paul Bauer was a French Jew, refugee from Alsace in the South-East of France, in a small village of Saône-et-Loire. His name is on the war memorial of the village but he was not killed on site. This article reconstructs his fate, as a hostage from the Nazis kept in a Lyons prison, then shot with Resistance fighters in June 1944 on a road outside Lyons. Paul Bauer's corpse was burried in Villeneuve-sur-Saône, then exhumed and reburied twice. This article interrogates the difficult status given to this body and also the documentary traces that permit to reconstruct the trajectory of the corpse.
