The Rivesaltes camp was successively internment, deportation and transit camp. 60,000 Spanish republicans, Jews, gypsies and harkis were "regrouped" there between 1939 and 1964, the date of its official closure. Today it is a high place of remembrance of internment in France.

The Shoah Memorial is the leading partner of the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah. Thanks to permanent support from the
Foundation, the Memorial has been able to develop and host an increasing number of visitors (individuals, school groups, researchers, etc.).

A place of history and remembrance open to all, the Maison d’Izieu Memorial perpetuates the memory of the Jewish children and adults who found refuge there from May 1943 until the raid on 6th April 1944.

The room dedicated to the Genocide of the Jews and mass violence, the biggest in the "World war - Total war" section, gives an idea of the unheard-of climate of violence at whose heart mass killings were perpetrated in both Europe and Asia-Pacific between 1937 and 1945.
