Mur des Noms

The Wall of Names displays 76,000 names of Jewish deportees, including 11,400 children, engraved on three stone walls at the Holocaust Memorial.

The memorial began with Isaac Schneersohn's clandestine archives in 1943, documenting Jewish persecution, and was officially inaugurated in 2005 by Jacques Chirac.

Each engraved name on the wall represents an individual story, preserving the memory of Jewish families who were deported from France during World War II.

The memorial underwent extensive renovation in 2019, resulting in 4,500 spelling corrections and the addition of 226 previously missing names to maintain accuracy.

The Wall of the Righteous, located on the exterior wall, lists over 3,900 individuals who helped save Jewish lives in France during World War II.
