While dozens of teenagers rush behind one of the two entrance doors to the Shoah Memorial in Drancy this Wednesday afternoon, only a few seem to pay attention to the completely cracked panel, the only one in the glass facade.
Located opposite the Cité de la Muette, a housing complex designed in the 1930s converted during the Second World War into an internment camp by the German occupiers, the building was damaged during the night from Tuesday to Wednesday.
The management of the Shoah Memorial indicates that it has filed a complaint.
“At this stage, the investigation is ongoing,” she adds.
In a press release sent this Thursday afternoon, the prefect of Seine-Saint-Denis specifies that “an impact of lead shot on a window on the facade cracked the glass”.
The highest representative of the State in the department adds that he “provides his support to the person in charge of the Memorial and firmly condemns this act as incomprehensible as it is cowardly and undignified in a historic place for the memory of the department”.
