This is a special place to recall the fate of children lost to France due the holocaust. There is an English guide book to help you work through the museum. The displays are in French. There is an intuitive presentation to the displays so that a lack of language skills does not totally detract from the experience. The museum is small still please allow yourself a couple of hours to explore the experience.

Brilliant museum with very well-designed and thought-provoking exhibits. The children's memorial is comparable to that at Yad Vashem and a must see for anyone within the area. I highly recommend this museum to anyone, including young children, for there is something meaningful to learn from here for everyone. It is unique from other holocaust museums for it highlights the role of the French people and government in deporting to death camps and housing in concentration camps more than 70,000 French Jewish civilians, including 11,600 children, during WWII. Tarifs are 4 for adults, 2 for students and other groups, and free for minors under 18. The experience that comes with it is priceless.

Very good infrastructure and well organized content. It's a trip trough the history. The audio and written content is in French only, but the lady at the entrance provided a very well written guide in English that is organized in the same sequence of what you see. The pictures and videos are very informative and you will not see any strong scenes during the tour, so you can bring your kids and family to see this relevant piece of french and world history. There are a lot of books and extra information for those who can read french. We need to always keep in mind what we did with each other and think about what lessons we can get from it. The time for judgments are gone, but is never too late to learn how to become a better person, day after day.

Un musée incontournable pour le devoir de mémoire ... c'est bien fait, bouleversant ... A faire notamment avec des ados pour lancer un échange sur ce sujet difficile ... Merci. Je recommande

2 heures de route dans le vent puisque le musée est en congés annuels et que personne n’a eu l’intelligence de le signaler nulle part, pas même sur le site officiel. Obligés de l’apprendre par une petite pancarte sur la grille. Bravo ...

A la fois lieu de recherche, musée et mémorial, le CERCIL s'intéresse aux anciens camps d'internement du Loiret et en particulier aux enfants du Vel d'hiv'. Il organise régulièrement des marches sur place à Beaune, Pithiviers et en Sologne.
