On the occasion of the National Day of Remembrance for the Victims of the Deportation, the Shoah Memorial inaugurated a new digital monument this Sunday, April 28, 2024, in the crypt.

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.
