On the edge of the former camp, 2.5 km from the village of Septfonds, the Memorial invites visitors to understand, remember, and pass on this history (permanent exhibition on site). Extend your visit at La Mounière, the House of Memories, a scenographic exhibition space in the heart of the village.

In February 1939, the authorities selected a site known as Judes to establish a camp intended to gather Spanish Republican refugees, considered “undesirable foreigners.” Designed to operate for only a few months, the camp was not evacuated until August 1944, when it was liberated by the Resistance. It was destroyed in 1946.

During this period, people of different nationalities and destinies succeeded one another or lived side by side in the camp. In 1942, 297 men, women, and children identified as Jews were deported from the camp to Auschwitz.

The Memorial is located on the edge of the former camp. The original water tank, explanatory panels, and a reconstructed barrack at one-quarter the size of the 1939 buildings bear witness to the conditions of internment. The Memorial also features a permanent exhibition, an immersive digital installation, and a free web app entitled “Septfonds, One Camp, Many Memories,” available for download from the website of La Mounière – House of Memories of the town of Septfonds.

Free access all year round.
Guided tours for groups available on request (La Mounière – House of Memories of the town of Septfonds).
