The Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation has been a museum of history since its inception, and it is more essential than ever to continue in this role. However, it aims to renew its approach to strengthen its role as a civic tool.
Beyond the history of the Second World War, the museum's discourse addresses timeless issues such as the rise to power of a totalitarian regime, the collapse of a democracy, the establishment of a system of large-scale repression and extermination, as well as the Resistance and commitment in the name of values that transcend individuals.
A few steps from the museum, the Witness monument pays tribute to the deportees.
The Fusillés monument commemorates the sacrifice of 98 members of the Resistance who were condemned to death and executed by the German army between 1941 and 1944. It was restored as part of the renovation of the museum.
