In the French Ministry of Culture, handwritten manuscripts of the deceased president, General Charles de Gaulle, are exhibited, among which are letters, notebooks, and pages from his "War Memoirs." Among the exhibits at one of the exhibitions belonging to the ministry, there is a notebook with notes in which General de Gaulle fixed his observations from 1940 before and after arriving in London, as well as unpublished pages from excerpts that were not included in the first volume of "War Memoirs." These documents are now stored in the National Library of France.
The Minister of Culture, Rachid Dati, announced at the ceremony dedicated to this event that "these writings have become national treasures, for which care has been taken for contemporary citizens and future generations." Among the exhibits are also five letters from Charles de Gaulle, one of which is addressed to his wife Yvonne, dated August 27, 1944, after the liberation of Paris, and another — from the end of September 1938 after the Munich Agreements. In addition, there is a letter to the mother of General Jean de Gaulle, dated December 20, 1936, about the impending threat of war, which will also be added to the national archives.
