National Competition on the Resistance and the Deportation: Robert Weinum Sixth Form College wins
Saint-Martin General Secondary School has won first prize in the National Competition on the Resistance and Deportation (CNRD) with the video game *Les Voix qui restent*.
A historical video game: it is thanks to this project that the students from the Sciences Po First Campus workshop, supervised by their History and Geography teacher, Mr Sullivan Munoz, have been awarded a distinction in the CNRD’s secondary school group project category. The students behind the project, Constant Monin and Anna Pochesci, are flying to Guadeloupe on Tuesday 12 May to take part in the official awards ceremony at the Regional Prefecture. Following this academic success, the school hopes to feature on the national winners’ list for the competition.
Memory, history and digital creation
This year, the national theme of the CNRD was: “The end of the Holocaust and the Nazi concentration camp system: surviving, bearing witness, judging (1944–1948)”. Les Voix qui restent is a web browser-based video game, available in French and English, an interactive narrative experience based on real historical facts. The game features 132 narrative nodes, 49 choice points and over 500,000 possible combinations of story paths. One of the main characters, William, is directly inspired by Lionel Romney, a sailor born in Saint Martin who was deported to the Mauthausen camp. His story, documented in particular by the Saint Martin historian Serge Gumbs and by Mary Romney-Schaab, helps to anchor the memory of the Holocaust in the island’s local history.
