The Shoah Memorial Museum in Paris is located in the Marais district, which was inhabited largely by Jews before World War II. You can see exhibitions devoted to the situation of French Jews during World War II, anti-Semitism and people saving Jews during the war.
The museum houses exhibitions as well as an educational center, the Holocaust Research Center, a library and a room for organizing cultural events. The museum is located in an underground crypt. You can see exhibitions showing souvenirs of French Jews taken to extermination camps during the war and murdered in Paris itself. There are photos, everyday items, letters and personal souvenirs. Subsequent exhibitions show German anti-Semitic posters, documents and photos documenting the Holocaust.
In the upper part of the Museum there is a Wall of Remembrance, on which the names of 73,000 French Jews who were murdered in extermination camps were engraved. There is also a plaque dedicated to the French who received the Righteous Among the Nations medal. Currently, there are almost 2,700 names on it. Monument stones were brought from Jerusalem.
