Centre Résistance et Déportation Arles et Pays d'Arles

The Centre Résistance et Déportation Arles et Pays d'Arles (Center for Resistance and Deportation in Arles and the Arles Region) records the history of Arles and the surrounding region from 1939 to 1945 through the lens of resistance and deportation. Its goal is to act as a place of collection, conservation, and research of documents and testimonies from the period, and to serve as a center of memory and historical education for local residents. 

The museum contains a variety of period artifacts, including: a library of more than 3500 books and reference works on the local and broader history of the Second World War; archives of documents relating to the organization and conduct of resistance in the Arles region; objects, clothing, and uniforms from the period; and recorded audio and video interviews from individuals who experienced these events.
