In the Marais, the Shoah Memorial combines a history museum, a place of remembrance and a documentation centre. Its permanent exhibition explains the persecution and genocide of Europe’s Jews, with particular attention to France. Archives and testimonies connect the wider history with individual lives.
Highlights
The Wall of Names
At the entrance, this wall records the names of Jews deported from France. Take time to read it before continuing to the permanent exhibition.
The Wall of the Righteous
In the alley alongside the Memorial, plaques honour people recognised as Righteous Among the Nations in France. This passage recalls the actions of those who helped persecuted Jews.
