France’s Memorial Landscape : Views from Camp des Milles Hardback
by Sophie Fuggle
Part of the Contemporary French and Francophone Cultures series
Hardback
- Information
Description
During August 1942 several women jumped to their deaths from a second story window at the tile factory in the small town of Milles near Aix-en-Provence.
Between 1939 and 1942 the factory assumed various roles as internment camp, transit camp and ultimately deportation camp.
This book is about the view from the ‘suicide window’ as it is presented within the Camp des Milles memorial museum which opened in 2012.
It explores how this view might help us to understand and imagine the world of internment and deportation camps operating in France during the Second World War and their memorial today.
The book uses the views framed by the window to think critically about the museography of the memorial within the wider context of France’s relatively late acknowledgment of its role in the persecution of the Jews during the Second World War.
