With a view over the Bruche valley, this structure with its glass facade is directly opposite the memorial flame from the former concentration camp of Natzweiler-Struthof.
Through immersive settings, documents, video archives and accounts, without violent images or scenes that might shock visitors, the Mémorial Alsace-Moselle recounts the daily lives of thousands of men, women and children who lived during World War II, with a focus on the consequences of the de facto annexation of these two territories to the Third Reich.
More than just telling the story of a particular region, the Alsace-Moselle Memorial encourages everyone to think about their commitment to citizenship and Europe, and serves as a foundation for the future.
