Resistance

Dongo is the place where Benito Mussolini and the fascist ministers of the RSI (Italian Social Republic) were captured on 27th April 1945.They were all taken to the Town Hall, in Palazzo Manzi, in order to formalize the arrest. Only a few days before, the Golden Room (the hall of honour of Palazzo Manzi) was arranged as mortuary for the bodies of the partisans slain by the fascist brigades.

Built in 1928 as both a police station and jail, this building, which now houses one the city’s best museums, was under the Nazis one of the most notorious places of torture in the Third Reich. Now all five floors have been transformed into an exhibition using the original cells and charting the history of the little known about opposition to Hitler's regime from 1933 to 1945.

The museum was formed in 1963 by a group of individuals that were actually part of the resistance movement in Austria during the time of the Third Reich. The colleagues of these folks were part of the two thousand seven hundred individuals that were executed by the German Gestapo during the war. In a secondary way, the location also covers the efforts of the resistance movement during the Fascist rule of Austria.

The museum traces the history of the Belgian resistance and German occupation of Belgium during World War II. The museum seeks to raise awareness of the role of the Belgian resistance during both World Wars and preserves document and artifacts relating to the period. The museum also touches on the German occupation, Holocaust and deportations of prisoners of war during the conflict.

The museum brings together the largest collections relating to the French resistance during the Second World War. The Museum of National Resistance in Champigny-sur-Marne shows the history of the French Resistance from its inception up to the Liberation. It enables visitors to gain better understanding of the origins of the French Resistance, its rise to power, its gradual unification and its contribution to the Liberation of the French nation and to the definition of post-war France.

The Museum was founded in 1971 at the instigation of Denise Lorach, a concentration camp survivor, and provides an in-depth and emotional portrayal of this dark period of history.

A one-room museum in the old Bryggen Hanseatic quarter in the heart of Bergen, Norway. Its main exhibit is the room itself that houses the museum – for this reason it is also known under the epithet "Theta Room" (rather than "museum"). It was the secret HQ of a local branch of the Norwegian Resistance during the German occupation in WWII. It was in fact so well hidden that it was only discovered by accident by the Germans, who promptly destroyed it, in 1942. The present room is therefore only a reconstruction.
 

McIntosh Gallery is pleased to present an exhibition by Rehab Nazzal. The show is based on Nazzal’s year-long research in the occupied West Bank and features an array of works that engage gallery-goers through sight, hearing and smell. In this multi-media exhibition, social commentary and critique intersect with expressive response to the severe realities in the conflict zone, and offers a space where critical inquiry as well as reflection may take place.

Being the first of its kind, this place carves the memory of a continual stage in the history of Lebanon. This is a natural museum, surrounded by the captivating nature and mountains. Its aim is to preserve the places where the Mujahideen lived, giving people the chance to be acquainted with the style of the unique experience of the Islamic resistance against the Israeli enemy, since its occupation of Beirut in 1982.

The original museum, which opened in 1966 in the rue Jean Jacques Rousseau, was dedicated to local resistance networks and named the Musée de la Résistance Dauphinoise. The museum underwent significant renovations in the late 1980s and early 1990s and has been in its current premises in the rue Hébert since its reopening in 1994. The building originally housed the architectural sculpture school of Grenoble and the apartments of its director, the sculptor Aimé Charles Irvoy.
