The Argelès Camp Memorial

The Memorial space consists of a permanent exhibition with an interactive scenography completed by films, audiovisual testimonies, archive documents, press cuttings, photographs, works of art…. The Memorial also has a room reserved for temporary exhibitions throughout the year.

Between February 1939 and the beginning of 1942, more than 160,000 men, women and children passed through the Argelès-sur-Mer camp. They were mainly Spanish refugees, but also former members of the international brigades, French nomads and refugees from Eastern Europe, including foreign Jews. This documentary site, a digital showcase for the Argelès-sur-Mer camp memorial, looks back on the three years of operation of this camp set up on the beach.
