Across a footbridge of the Rue des Tilleuls, above the historic building.
The Memory Space (l’Espace Mémoire) is a unique type of museum telling the history of the local area during World War 2 through its numerous objects. Each object is connected to a special story telling the history of the opposing forces and local citizens during the winter of 1944-45 fighting through the Maginot Line and during Operation Norwind in the Bitche area. The 100th Infantry Division also known as the "Century" Division or the "Sons of Bitche" played a prominent role in this area during WW2.
