While there is no such specific exhibit, I beg to differ from the previous response. This is an extremely touching memorial to the 76,000 French victims of the Holocaust and those of us who are descendants, survivors, Jews, or simply humans. It will stay with you forever, as it well should. Take the time to see the Beate and Serge Klarsfeld exhibit; to sign the book honoring Simone Veil; to meditate in the Memorial Hall facing the eternal flame set in a Star of David; to read and touch some of the 76,000 names of those deported, engraved on walls in the courtyard; to acknowledge the courage of those among the 3,300 names on the Wall of the Righteous. It is a small memorial of great significance and I go every single time I am in Paris, which is very often. Not to be missed.
Are there exhibits that focus on Jewish victims who, at high-risk to themselves, dared to try to care for others and improve their survival chances while in Nazi camps?
A:
No. It’s a very spartan exhibit with black and white photos and a storyboard. That’s it.
