Mur des Noms, Holocaust memorial in Le Marais, Paris, France.
The Mur des Noms is a memorial in Paris's 4th arrondissement with three stone walls displaying approximately 76,000 engraved names. These inscriptions document Jewish people who were deported from France during World War II, including many children.
The memorial grew from hidden archives started in 1943 that documented Jewish persecution. It was officially inaugurated in 2005 and has been expanded and corrected multiple times since its creation.
The names on the wall belong to families deported from France, and their engraving preserves individual stories for future generations. Visitors can search for specific names here and connect with the people whose lives were lost.
The memorial is located in Le Marais, a lively neighborhood with good accessibility and nearby transportation. Visitors should allow time for quiet reflection and can explore other historical sites in the vicinity.
A separate section honors over 3,900 people who saved Jewish lives during the war and are recognized as Righteous Among the Nations. These names stand alongside the victims, telling stories of courage and resistance.
