Mémorial de la Shoah
Mémorial de la Shoah, Holocaust museum in Quartier Saint-Gervais, France
The Mémorial de la Shoah is a memorial and museum in Quartier Saint-Gervais that documents Jewish history during World War II through photographs, texts, and digital displays. The exhibitions spread across interconnected rooms where walls hold names and personal stories.
The memorial was established in 2005, marking 60 years after Auschwitz's liberation. It was created to officially honor the deportation and suffering of French Jews during the war.
The Wall of Names holds the memory of 76,000 French Jews who were deported, making their presence felt in the space. Nearby, the Wall of the Righteous honors those who risked everything to protect and hide Jewish families.
The research center provides access to archives, photographs, films, and books for study and learning. Plan to spend adequate time with the materials, as the content is detailed and emotionally significant.
Inside, a crypt holds ashes from concentration camps and the Warsaw Ghetto, along with soil from Israel. A gate from the Beaune-la-Rolande camp is also preserved there, serving as a silent witness to this history.
