The W. J. Kennedy Foundation plans to build a museum near the former site of the Foucarville camp, where almost 100,000 German prisoners were held between 1944 and 1946.<\/h2>\n\n

Paris. Today, 83 hectares of fields blend into the Normandy bocage. But from 1944 to 1946, 60,000 German prisoners were able to live simultaneously in the camp at Foucarville (Manche): a veritable town whose ephemeral existence left no trace on the landscape. This hidden memory will soon resurface a few meters from the former prison camp, in the form of a site museum. Sponsored by a private foundation and supported by the Normandy region, this future museum dedicated to prisoners of war is the subject of an architectural competition, the winner of which will be announced in the autumn. <\/p>\n\n
