The Mémorial Alsace-Moselle, located in Schirmeck, in Alsace, is a cultural site that should be visited by anyone who wants to discover or better understand the particular history of Alsace and the department of Moselle, from 1870 to the construction of Europe.
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.
