Origin and history

The Museum of Resistance, Deportation and Liberation of the Lot in Cahors is a memorial in the city of Cahors. The purpose of the museum is to preserve and transmit the memory of events related to the Second World War in the Lot department, including local resistance, deportation and actions leading to the liberation of the territory. This type of museum plays an essential role in transmitting contemporary history to future generations.

In a region such as Occitanie, marked by varied rural and urban dynamics, these places of memory help to understand local issues during national conflicts. They also recall the involvement of underground populations and networks in often difficult contexts, while honouring the victims and anonymous heroes of this period.
