EXPLORE THE SPACES OF THE MUSEUM-MEMORIAL
The Shoah Memorial created this memorial work in order to preserve and convey the history of the Jews shot as hostages or as resistance fighters, executed, victims of exactions, dead in internment camps in France, disappeared or committed suicide at the time of their arrest or deportation, deported and dead in concentration camps, or killed in the fighting for the liberation of France.
To date, 4,000 names of men, women and children appear on this monument, all murdered by the Nazis with the collaboration of the government of the French State and its auxiliaries. The tragic fate of these victims is fully integrated into history and the memory of the persecution of the Jews of France. This monument thus completes the Wall of Names of the 76,000 Jews deported from France as part of the systematic murder of European Jews, erected in 2005.
On April 28, 2024, Éric de Rothschild, President of the Shoah Memorial, inaugurated alongside Patricia Miralles, Secretary of State to the Minister of the Armed Forces, in charge of Veterans and Memory, this memorial work created in homage to the Jews of France who died in the internment camps, shot and deported resistance fighters murdered during the Second World War.
