The sites of the Memorial

The camp releases and the return of deportees : How did the deportees experience the last moments before their release? How were they repatriated to France? What welcome did they receive there? This site attempts to highlight the great diversity of experiences of "liberation" and return, the difficult understanding by French society of the experience of deportees and the specific fate of Jews in the immediate post-war period.

Reparations and restitutions for the victims of the Holocaust in France : If you were deported during the Second World War, or if you are a child of a deportee, it is possible for you to establish a file to obtain compensation for the harm suffered. This possibility also applies to people who have been robbed of their material or financial assets. On what criteria? For what purposes? Our answers.

CASIP-COJASOR: the Israelite Social Action Committee of Paris is an institution, created on October 24, 1809 under the aegis of the Israelite Consistory of France. It was in 1963 that it took the name of CASIP. From its creation, it worked in the fight against poverty within the Jewish community of Paris. Over time, several activities have developed: soup kitchens, loan fund, locker room, retirement homes, institutions for children or students, help for the unemployed.

COJASOR: (Jewish Committee for Social Action and Reconstruction), created in clandestinity, was officially born after the Second World War with the aim of helping the survivors of the Holocaust. General body for assistance to victims of Nazi abuses, it has set up with the help of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC or "Joint") and the High Commissioner for Refugees, an important device to provide relief and assistance especially to the elderly. A first Retirement Home was opened in Aix-les-Bains in 1945, then a second one in Nice in 1949.
