The European Center of the Deported Resistance Fighters (French: Center Européen du Résistant Déporté , CERD ) is a French museum on the site of the memorial of the former German Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp .
The new building was inaugurated in November 2005 by the then President Jacques Chirac . It enables a walk through the persecution of people in the age of National Socialism on the foundations of a concrete bunker .
The museum building designed by the architect Pierre-Louis Faloci is kept in dark colors, and the interiors also appear gloomy and gray. Films in French, English and German show the story of captured and deported resistance fighters in World War II . Information on many other German concentration camps can be researched at computer terminals .
The association of memorials in the former Natzweiler concentration camp complex (VGKM) in Germany , founded in 2016, strives for "close cooperation" with the European Center for Deported Resistance Fighters.
