The Shoah Memorial, a vibrant place of remembrance that tells the story of the Jews of France during the Second World War.
The Shoah Memorial, Europe's largest archive on the history of the Shoah, is a place of remembrance, education and transmission of the history of the genocide of the Jews during the Second World War. It currently comprises six sites in France, with a new museum soon to open in Nice.
The Paris site offers a number of spaces: a permanent exhibition on the Shoah and the history of the Jews in France during the Second World War, a temporary exhibition space, an auditorium for meetings, the Wall of Names where the names of the 76,000 Jewish men, women and children deported from France between 1942 and 1944 are engraved, the Crypt, the digital monument inaugurated in April 2024, the Wall of the Righteous which bears the names of over 3,900 men and women who, at the risk of their lives, helped to save Jews in France during the Second World War.
A better understanding of the history of the Shoah helps to combat hatred and all forms of intolerance today. The Memorial also works to teach people about the other genocides of the 20th century.
