The Mémorial de Caen is a museum and war memorial in Caen, Normandy, France commemorating World War II and the Battle for Caen. More generally, the museum is dedicated to the history of the twentieth century, mainly focused on the fragility of peace.

On the southern outskirts of Moscow in the settlement of Butovo lies a memorial complex where Soviet state security (NKVD) executed and buried more than 20,000 people in unmarked mass graves. Between 1937-38, thousands of “enemies of the people,” including labor camp prisoners, former tsarist officers, and members of the clergy, were murdered in this killing field during Stalin’s purges. Today, only a few posters, small monuments, and two Orthodox churches mark the site where so many Soviet citizens perished.

It is a musealised site and a historical museum that intends to fill a gap in the Portuguese museological fabric, by projecting the appreciation of the memory of the fight against the dictatorship onto the construction of an enlightened and responsible citizenship, and by taking on the struggle against the exonerating and, often, complicit silencing of the dictatorial regime that governed the country between 1926 and 1974.

The Africa Centre and the Sulger-Buel Lovell Gallery in London presented the 53 Echoes of Zaire exhibition, a collection of paintings by the late Congolese artists T. Kalema, C. Mutombo, B. Ilunga, Ndaie, and Tshibumba Kanda Matulu, the featured artist in the show.

All of the works were created in the late 1970s, less than a decade after Zaire, now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, gained its independence from Belgium.

This museum pays homage to the partisans who sacrificed their lives in the struggle against fascism. It's hard to believe that the high valleys and peaceful mountain peaks surrounding Lake Maggiore where the scene of massacres and fierce fighting during World War II. But it was here that many partisan units organized and, aided and supported by the local population, lived in and fought in these mountains against Nazi domination.

Canadian forces played an important role in the liberation of Flanders. The Canada War Museum was opened in 1995 to pay tribute to these men who chased the axis oppressors out of large parts of Flanders.

The Memoriale della Shoah is a Holocaust memorial at the Milano Centrale railway station commemorating the Jewish prisoners deported from there during the Holocaust in Italy. Jewish prisoners from the San Vittore Prison, Milan, were taken from there to a secret underground platform, Platform 21 (Italian: Binario 21), to be loaded on freight cars and taken on Holocaust trains to extermination camps, either directly or via other transit camps.

While the Memorial to the Abolition of Slavery contributes to remembrance and the public record of memory in the city, the Nantes History Museum, located in the Château des Ducs de Bretagne, provides the keys to understanding the city’s slave-trading history, extensively presented in the permanent exhibit.
Both locations are connected through a walk in the streets of Nantes marked out by eleven information boards on the slave trade, with the title “Nantes and the slave trade”.
