Between memory and history, the stories of Jewish deportees and Spanish refugees detained at the Rivesaltes camp are rich and complex discursive objects. We will try to bring to light and describe in language and in speech the verbs to remember, to recall, to forget on which the process of recollecting and the life stories of witnesses are based. This will involve examining the memory verbs used and then analyzing how they work in speech before concluding on the place and role played by these verbs in the testimony account.
