Alsace-Moselle WWII Memorial
Begin your journey at the newly renovated Alsace-Moselle WWII Memorial Museum, a deeply moving site that brings to life the complex and painful history of Alsace and Moselle during World War II.
Through powerful exhibits and thoughtful interpretation, the museum reveals how these border regions were caught between France and Germany, and how they endured the harsh realities of annexation, occupation, and resistance. It is an essential visit for understanding not only the region’s past, but also the values of memory, peace, freedom, and European unity.
Natzwiller-Struthof Concentration Camp
Continue to the Natzwiller-Struthof concentration camp, a profoundly significant memorial site and the only Nazi concentration camp on what is now French soil. Set high in the Vosges Mountains, this former camp tells a harrowing story of forced labor, deportation, medical experiments, and immense human suffering.
Between 1941 and 1945, thousands of prisoners from across Europe passed through this camp and its network of annexes, and nearly 22,000 people lost their lives. A visit here is sobering, unforgettable, and essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of WWII history in Alsace.
Return to Strasbourg
After this powerful and thought-provoking day, return to Strasbourg with a deeper appreciation of the region’s resilience and the enduring importance of remembrance. This tour offers more than a historical visit: it is a meaningful journey into the heart of European history.
