European heritage days
On the occasion of the European Heritage Days, the Shoah Memorial offers its visitors and the curious to discover the treasures of the family heritage, through a presentation of objects and documents, a meeting and a workshop. This day will also be the opportunity to return to the traces of the ancient Jewish presence in the Marais as part of a unique visit to the heart of the neighborhood.
