Memorial dedicated to the daily lives of people in times of armed conflict in Falaise

Housed in the former courthouse since 2016, this is one of the few museums dedicated to the civilian victims of the Second World War. It incorporates the ruins of a house destroyed during bombing raids in the summer of 1944. Count on 1h30 (and a lot of reading, perhaps a little too much) to discover the daily life of these men, women and children who, for six years, lived through the Occupation, the exodus, the restrictions, the bombings and then the Liberation. Poignant!

Très beau lieu avec une grande richesse culturelle. Très sympa pour apprendre pleins de choses sur la vie durant la guerre.

Excellente expérience. Très apprécié des plus jeunes car beaucoup plus concret.

Personnels sympathiques et attentifs. Petit manque d'expérience historique sur certaines questions posées. Le musée est très bien fait, dommage il y a beaucoup de lecture avec des panneaux beaucoup trop bas et écrit trop petit. Je pense que l'épisode de la collaboration est très vite passé et que la résistance ainsi que la défense passive n'est pas assez évoqué. Connaissant les collections du mémorial de Caen plus d'objets auraient trouvé leurs place.
Je pense que pour des écoles un niveau collège est souhaitable.
Il n'empêche que j'ai passé un excellent moment dans ce mémorial et je recommande vivement sa visite.

Lo sbarco in Normandia visto con gli occhi dei civili. Imperdibile.
