Pierresvives ~ domaine départemental
Montpellier
English guided tour of the exhibition "Vivre la guerre en Hérault (1939-1945)"
Age : 10 and up
The exhibition explores everyday life during World War II in the department of Hérault from the defeat of 1940 to the end of the war. Discover how civilians experienced this period and faced the absence of prisoners of war, the arrival of people during the exodus or fleeing the occupied zone, the STO (compulsory labor service), the roundups, the fear, the shortages, and the German occupation.
Far from the idealized or hagiographic portrayals often associated with this period, the exhibition aims to show a daily life full of nuance, where subsistence and survival were the main priorities.
