Traveler reviews

  • Natalie Daz

    ★★★★★6 years ago

    The memorial is a museum that gives an overview of the policy of repression and persecution in Marseille during the German occupation. The " Mémorial des camps de la mort " (death camp memorial) was opened in 1995 on the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps.

    Staff was friendly, most of the content was in French and English. Very interesting yet upsetting, but I imagine most things regarding the concentration camps during WW2 are. Free to visit, worth the time.
