Mémorial de la Shoah (Shoah Memorial)

The Mémorial de la Shoah, Paris’ official Holocaust museum, was inaugurated in 2005 to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Situated in the Marais district, the city’s historical Jewish quarter, the museum stands on the site of the Memorial to the Unknown Jewish Martyr. Within its walls, visitors can explore both permanent and temporary exhibitions that delve into the history and impact of the Holocaust. A poignant feature is the Wall of Names, which lists the names of Jewish victims. The museum also houses other moving monuments and tributes, offering a somber and reflective experience.
