Resistance

AERI (formerly Association for Studies on the Domestic Resistance) has been working for more than ten years on CD-ROMs (or DVD-ROMs) on the local Resistance. Since January 1st, 2012, it is within the Foundation of the Resistance that the AERI department continues its activities.

The museum, located in a memorial site, is dedicated to the French Maquis resistance against the advancement of German troops towards Normandy during World War II.

Housed in the Fortress of Peniche, the former political prison of the pre-revolutionary "Estado Novo" (New State), the Peniche Museum has a section dedicated to the anti-fascist resistance movement.

The Visit Room, located close to the reception and the Noble Hall of the Fortress, is a structure attached to the political prison, built in 1967 and used until April 1974.

Presently, the Core 1 of the Anti-fascist Resistance occupies this place, divided in 4 exhibition areas:

From the late 1940s, those involved in the resistance and political deportees began to plan a national resistance museum in order to preserve the memory of Luxembourg's victims of the Nazi occupation. A committee made up of the City of Esch-sur-Alzette, unions and representatives of resistance movements under the presidency of Ed Barbel, undertook a fund-raising exercise which led to the opening of the Resistance Museum on 22 July 1956. It is ñocated in the centre of Esch-sur-Alzette in the south-east of the country.

The Museum and Library of the Resistance in Sansepolcro was founded to commemorate the values of the Resistance from a historical and cultural perspective as well as to support research and protect documents about anti-fascism, concentration camps and political imprisonment by the regime.

The museum remembers the tragic passage of the front through Sansepolcro and the events that made the town become a turning point for the Second World War.

This museum illustrates the values ​​of citizenship and solidarity brought by the Resistance during the Second World War. Dedicated to all those who sacrificed themselves to defend the fundamental values ​​of the Republic, its vocation is to make the memory alive by offering a place of pedagogy and dissemination of information, especially for young audiences.

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.

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.

The Museum, owned by the Municipality of Bologna, is located in the complex of the old Monastery of "S.Mattia". It houses several materials (documents, photographs, posters, multimedia products), relating to antifascism and Resistance in the City of Bologna as well as in Italy.

The museum documents the harsh struggle of the Danish resistance against the Nazis with the use of photographs, maps, dioramas and personal letters from members of the resistance.
