22 July 2011... The Deportation Museum, Paris, France... Set below ground level, beside the Seine river this museum shuts out completely the sights and sounds of bustling Paris above. It is a memorial to French citizens that died in various Nazi concentration camps. It was a solemn and somber experience visiting this place... I did not know this even existed until I saw it... This is what you see above-ground, before you take a flight of steps to go down. The Seine river is on the left. Note the rough inscription on the face of the concrete... At the bottom of the flight of steps... Visitors must pass in between the large blocks which where designed narrow, so as to force visitors to pass single file to enter. Photography is not allowed inside this memorial... Inside it is quite dark, with minimal lighting. Roughly scratched inscriptions on the walls spell out the names of different concentration camps where French citizens lost their lives to the barbaric Nazis. A narrow passageway has 200,000 small lights on the sides, representing the French dead. Place St. Michel... Please read the inscription on the base...
