CERCIL, a museum-memorial retracing the history of internment camps in the Loiret during the Second World War.

On January 27, 2011, the museum-memorial was inaugurated in the presence of Jacques Chirac, the first French president to acknowledge the French state's responsibility for the deportation of Jews, and Simone Veil, herself a survivor of the Holocaust. Housed in a former nursery school, the permanent exhibition recounts the lives of Jewish internees, first men rounded up on May 14, 1941, then women and children arrested during the Vel d'Hiv round-up. CERCIL collects and preserves archives deposited by families of internees and deportees.

Un musée pertinent et utile au devoir de mémoire. Il importe de rappeler l'histoire des camps de Beaune-la Rolande et de Pithiviers. Accessible aux enfants. Très pédagogique.

Très belle scénographie pour ce petit musée qui nous fait revivre le calvaire des enfants du Vel d'hiv séparés de leurs familles, envoyés dans le Loiret. En quelque sorte l'exposition, bouleversante, les fait revivre en leur redonnant un nom, une identité, parfois un visage, pour ne pas les oublier… Lieu éminemment pédagogique à visiter par toutes les générations, avec bien entendu des explications pour les plus jeunes.

A surreal experience. An atrocious event that is well documented. English translation is available. The room with the names and photos of the 4,000 children that were firstly separated from their parents then murdered locally is beyond belief. A must see when visiting Orleans and France.
Thank you to the people that created this museum so the people that were persecuted are not forgotten.
