Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation, War memorial in Île de la Cité, France.

The Memorial of the Martyrs of Deportation features white stone walls, narrow passages, and a triangular courtyard overlooking the Seine River in Paris.

Built in 1962, this memorial commemorates 200,000 French citizens who were deported to Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

The memorial houses glass cylinders representing deportation victims, along with poems by French writers Robert Desnos, Jean-Paul Sartre, and Paul Éluard.

The memorial opens every day except Mondays, with commemorative ceremonies taking place on the last Sunday of April each year.

The underground crypt contains soil and ashes from Nazi concentration camp crematoriums, preserving direct material connections to the deportation sites.
