Now synonymous with escape or travel, it also illustrates other realities in the context of the Second World War: the exile of Spanish Republicans, the exodus, the struggle of the Resistance, deportation, the extermination of Jews, and the preservation of traces of history for future generations. Drawing on its collections and numerous loans, the museum explores the object and its various uses.
As a museum of history and a civic tool, the Musée de la Résistance et de la Déportation de Besançon continues to reflect on history, the traces that remain today, and the questions they raise in our contemporary world.
