Deportation Martyrs Memorial

Unclaimed

It is a space that realizes the cruel traces of World War II. Not only the photographs and exhibitions of the time, but also the special structure, it is possible to feel the fear of the prisoners. I think that this space of cruelty and horror is not created underground. It is recommended as a place to visit rather than a restaurant in Paris.

Unfortunately, the Memorial closed during our visit. It was renovated due to flood damage. The small park was very nice and quiet! Good to have a rest, from the tourist crowds at the Notre Dame.

Place you should visit in Paris to understand the French people went through. It was very informative. You can get the information on English, French, German languages

A somber place to visit, but I am so glad we took the time and opportunity to add this into our schedule. As someone from the US, to see a memorial for those sent to the camps was heart-wrenching. I am glad there is a memorial dedicated to their lives. Its free and not very large, but if you take the time to read through the exhibits which are in a few languages, it's worth spending a bit of time here.

Such a lovely and respectful memorial for all those that ultimately lost their lives. Some information boards do not have English translations, so use Google translate camera to read.
