Memorial for the jews of France

The memorial stretches 100 meters in length and 13 meters in height, featuring fibreglass panels that display information about French deportees during World War II.

The Association des Fils et Filles des Déportés Juifs de France initiated the construction of this memorial, which was inaugurated on June 18, 1981.

The memorial contains panels reproducing content from the book Mémorial de la Déportation des Juifs de France, including names, birth dates, and locations of deportees.

Two annual ceremonies take place at the memorial: during Yom HaShoah and on July 16, commemorating the Velodrome d'Hiver raid in Paris.

The Jewish National Fund planted 80,000 trees surrounding the memorial, with each tree representing one Jewish person deported from France during the Holocaust.
