Biography
Joseph Renard was a farmer, married and father of four children (at the age of eight, six, four and three, when he was arrested). He was mayor of the municipality of Wavreille since 1939.
He was arrested on 14 August 1944 because Nazis suspected him to have created false identity cards for researched people. He was interrogated at Marche en Famenne commandantur and then imprisoned in Namur for about 15 days (held incommunicado).
Joseph Renard was transferred by train to Mauthausen in September 1944. He was transported to branch camp Gusen, where he died on 28 December 1944.
