About this event

  • 1 hour 30 minutes

The Holocaust Memorial at Drancy is a museum located opposite the Cité de la Muette, the main internment and transit camp for French Jews during the Second World War (80% of the 76,000 Jews deported passed through Drancy). Every Sunday at 3pm, a free guided tour is offered by our mediators. Using video testimonies, archive documents and period photographs, the permanent exhibition retraces the history of the Drancy camp, the daily life of the internees, the organisation of the deportations from 1941 to 1944, and the construction of the camp's post-war memory.

Free guided tours of the museum (see dates) in July.

Free audioguides in English and admission the rest of the time.

A Paris-Drancy shuttle bus runs one Sunday a month, free of charge and without booking. For more information, visit the Shoah Memorial website.
