70 years after the start of the deportation of the Jews of France towards the Nazi extermination camps, le Mémorial de la Shoah inauguré en septembre 2012 à Drancy, un nouvel espace destiné à l’histoire et à l’éducation de la période, en face de la Cité de la Muette. The project came about on the initiative and thanks to the financial support of the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah. The center’s mission is to present the history of the camp Drancy.
Built as a collective living space in the 1930s but never finished, la Cité de la Muette became an internment camp in 1941, and then in 1942 a regroupement camp pour les Juifs de France en préparation à leur déportation vers des camps d’extermination. Between March 1942 and Août 1944, about 63,000 of the 76,000 Jews deported from France passed through Drancy. The Cité de la Muette was once again inhabited after 1948, and since then has been reminded of the history of the camp Drancy there : avec des plaques commémoratives, l’érection d’un monument commémoratif et en 2001, lorsque les bâtiments ont été officiellement classés comme monuments historiques.
The memorial which has been constructed on a stretch of land graciously donated by the municipality of Drancy, was designed by the Swiss architect Roger Diener as a building that should be sober and dignified. The result is respectful of the site and urban environment, offering the visitor a panoramic view over the Cité de la Muette. It is made up of 5 levels: a conference room in the basement, reception spaces on the ground floor, educational rooms in which to receive groups, and a documentation center. A permanent exhibition, to which the filmmakers Patrick Rotman and Dephine Gleize have contributed, retraces the history and function of the camp as well as the daily lives of those interned there.
The Shoah Memorial at Drancy complements the Shoah Memorial in Paris. It is a place for mediation between the site of the former camp and the visitors
The Shoah Memorial in Drancy fait partie d'une voie de mémoire des lieux principaux de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en Ile-de-France.
