Description

description in French  Cultural and remembrance space of the City of Portet-sur-Garonne, the Museum of Memory was inaugurated on February 6, 2003 in the presence of Mr. Elie Wiesel, Nobel Peace Prize winner. Since the end of September 2021, the Museum of Memory has been labeled “Tourism & Handicap” for the 4 disabilities (hearing, mental, motor and visual).

Installed in an old building of the Récébédou camp, the Museum is part of a desire to transmit a story. Its ambition is to be a place of memory, but also a tool for reflection and knowledge.

Through this educational aim, the Museum hosts a permanent exhibition, a model of the camp, and temporary exhibitions so that everyone can reclaim a past shared by all. It also allows on-site consultation of a certain number of works dealing more particularly with internment camps.
