Musée Départemental de la Résistance Henri Queuille

 

The Musée Départemental de la Résistance Henri Queuille (Henri Queuille Departemental Museum of Resistance) in Neuvic presents the local history of resistance and deportation in the Haut-Corrèze region of Corrèze during the Second World War. The museum contains displays on local life under occupation, resistance activities, and deportation, and houses departmental records.

The museum is named for long-time Radical-Socialist politician Henri Queuille (1884-1970), thrice Président du Conseil des Ministres under the Fourth Republic (in 1948/49, 1950, and 1951) and Président du Conseil General de la Corrèze from 1921-1942. Following the establishment of the Vichy Regime, Queuille was dismissed from his position; he joined Charles de Gaulle in London in 1943, and remained in politics following the Liberation of France. The museum was inaugurated in 1981, and contains Queuille’s personal papers.
