MUSEO DELLA DEPORTAZIONE

The "Museum and Documentation Centre of Deportation and Resistance" was opened in April 2002, in the presence of the President of the Republic Carlo Azeglio Ciampi. In 2008, the Museum was recognized "Foundation of Regional Interest" and has the aims to preserve the memory of the deportation and those who died in the concentration camps and the Nazi death and struggles of resistance and liberation from Fascism. There is the possibility to make organized guided tours for groups and schools supported by films/documentaries, book presentations, workshops investigation of historical sources and refresher courses for teachers. The Museum cares initiatives dedicated to the memory on behalf of the founders, the Tuscany Region and other public bodies. The path is designed as a symbolic journey in a concentration camp in which have suffered and died millions of women and men arrested for racial, political or "social hygiene" during the Second World War.
