Photo: Pexels On the heights of Schirmeck, the exhibition tells how local people changed nationality several times. It covers the de facto annexation during the Second World War, forced Germanisation and the tragedy of the men forcibly conscripted.
Reconstructed sets, archives and testimonies punctuate the visit, self-guided or guided. The site holds the Tourisme & Handicap label and pairs well with the former Natzweiler-Struthof camp nearby.
