Today is the tenth anniversary of Dominique Venner’s dramatic suicide at the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, which he carried out as a protest against the degradation of the traditional family’s central importance as well as the demographic replacement of European man, and to indicate what we must be prepared to give to save our people: everything. On that day, Counter-Currents published English translations of Venner’s last post to his website, “The May 26 Protests and Heidegger,” as well as his suicide note, “The Reasons for a Voluntary Death.” (more…)

La Nouvelle Librairie has begun publishing Les Carnets Rebelles (The Rebel’s Notebooks) by Dominique Venner.

The French soldier, historian, and European patriot Dominique Venner was born on this day in 1935. He famously ended his life with a bullet on the altar of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris on May 21, 2013 to protest the demographic replacement of Europeans. Through both his life’s work and his death, 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.
