A must see. Horrible and fantastic at the same time. Horrible seeing what it's about, fantastic, I got tears in my eyes. A must visit !

Having visited krakow and auschwitz as well as Oscar schindlers factory we were probably overdoing it with a visit to the Shoah. However this is another excellent exhibition telling the French story of the occupation. I particularly enjoyed the photoessays of the resistance, those who provided assistance in the south of France and the annexed territories. This is also one... More
