Mémorial de la déportation juive

On April 6, 1944, the "Brehmer" division was deployed in the area to capture Jews and Resistance fighters. More than 50 people were arrested, including forty Jews and several members of the Resistance, who were parked in the village hall. They were catalogued, classified and interrogated. Resistance fighters were tortured. Then all were deported.
This stele is a stele of hope against the oblivion of the victims of the Shoah.
The work is by sculptor Marc PETIT, a fountain in memory of the deportees of Châteauneuf-la-Forêt, human faces, two symbols on the stele: water and nature. Tortured, suffering human faces, but water, the source of life, takes over.
It was inaugurated on June 25, 2006, in Place du Colisée.
