On the occasion of the National Day of Remembrance of the victims of the deportation, the Shoah Memorial inaugurated a new digital monument this Sunday, April 28, 2024 in the crypt.
Éric de Rothschild, President of the Shoah Memorial, inaugurated alongside Patricia Miralles, Secretary of State to the Minister of Armed Forces, in charge of Veterans and Memory, this memorial work made in tribute to the Jews of France who died in the internment camps, shot and deported resisters murdered during the Second World War
The Shoah Memorial created this memorial work in order to preserve and transmit the history of Jews shot as hostages or as resisters, executed, victims of exactions, dead in internment camps in France, missing or who committed suicide at the time of their arrest or deportation, deported and died in concentration camps, or killed in the struggle for the liberation of France.
To date, 4,000 names of men, women and children appear on this monument, all murdered by the Nazis with the collaboration of the French government and its proxies. The tragic fate of these victims is fully integrated into the history and memory of the persecution of the Jews of France. This monument completes the Wall of Names of the 76,000 Jews deported from France as part of the systematic assassination of the Jews of Europe, erected in 2005.
