Mémoire

Free

On 5 May 1957, during a ceremony presided over by the Prefect of Bas-Rhin, the first remains of French deportees were buried, including that of the unknown deportee in the National Necropolis of Struthof. The latter was rebuked on 22 July 1960, the eve of the inauguration, under the floor of the Memorial. Between 1957 and 1962, 1,117 deportees, exhumed for their vast majority in Germany, were gradually buried in the national necropolis of the Struthof. Essentially, the bodies come from the concentration camps but also from prisons and other types of Nazi camps. During this guided tour, you will have the opportunity to discover the necropolis with a guide-mediator. You will plunge into the poignant history of these deportees, discovering their individual journeys, their sufferings and their tragic fates. Each burial tells a story, each engraved name evokes a life broken by Nazi barbarism.
