80 years after the start of the deportation of French Jews to the Nazi extermination camps, the Shoah Memorial has opened a new history and education centre in Drancy, opposite the Cité de la Muette. Created on the initiative and with the support of the Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, the centre aims to present the history of the Drancy camp. Built in the 1930s but never completed, the Cité de la Muette became an internment camp in 1941, then in 1942 the camp where French Jews were rounded up for deportation to the extermination camps.
Between March 1942 and August 1944, around 64,000 of the 76,000 Jews deported from France passed through Drancy. The Cité de la Muette has been inhabited again since 1948, and the memory of the Drancy camp has gradually been built up: commemorative plaques have been laid, a memorial monument erected, and the buildings have been listed as historic monuments since 2001. Built on land donated by Drancy town council, the memorial offers a panoramic view of the Cité de la Muette. It has 5 levels: a conference room in the basement, reception areas on the ground floor and educational rooms.A permanent exhibition, contributed by documentary filmmaker Patrick Rotman and director Delphine Gleize, traces the history and workings of the camp, as well as the daily lives of the internees. Complementing the Shoah Memorial in Paris, the Shoah Memorial in Drancy is a place of mediation between the site of the former camp and the public, a place of history and transmission. It enables the public to learn more about the history of the Cité de la Muette and in particular the central role played by the Drancy camp in the exclusion of Jews from France during the Second World War and in the implementation of the "Final Solution" by the Nazis in France, with the complicity of the Vichy government.
