Located in Paris, in the heart of the historic Marais district, the Shoah Memorial offers its visitors numerous resources and activities on a total area of nearly 5,000 m 2. Discover the different spaces that make up this place.
The Shoah Memorial created this memorial work in order to preserve and transmit the history of 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 killed in concentration camps, or killed in the fighting for the liberation of France.
To date, 4,000 names of men, women and children are listed on this monument, all murdered by the Nazis with the collaboration of the French state government and its auxiliaries. The tragic fate of these victims is fully integrated into the history and memory of the persecution of Jews in France. This monument thus completes the Wall of Names of 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, along with Patricia Miralles, Secretary of State to the Minister for the Armed Forces, responsible for Veterans and Memory, this memorial work was created in tribute to the Jews of France who died in internment camps, were shot and deported from the resistance killed during the Second World War.
