NDINGA MIZELE DIKIEFU LEON

This place will move you deeply. Allow at least an hour probably 2 and bring tissues as the stories here are deeply moving.

It was my first time in Paris and this memorial was the definitive highlight of my whole trip. No, seriously.

An incredibly profound and sad experience. Most placards have English translations, so the experience is not in any way diminished if a visitor does not speak French.

This place brought me to tears and I'm not Jewish. Went to see the current temporary photographic exhibition not realising it was a memori to the lives of the French Jewish population during WWII and earlier. Such a humbling experience. It was free but I would've paid.

No charge to enter, so many vintage photos recalling the Holocaust... The buildup to it, the obsecenity of the concentration camps, and followup trials. An important lesson for our current troubled times where fascist voices and tendencies are taking root again.

In my many trips to Paris, I have never been here even though I have always wanted to come here. I am glad I know French because I was able to understand the testimonial videos from survivors and reading the French texts of the children of the Rwandan genocide were emotional. You don’t have to know French as many things have translations, but it is helpful in the areas that aren’t translated.

I just attended service for Holocaust remembrance Day. The cancer was amazing and sadly I couldn't stop crying. Is very touching ceremony and it was very interesting because there was no rain during the ceremony and when the ceremonies stopped the rain started to pound like it was hitting you. Felt like it was some kind of divine intervention. Very powerful to be in Paris on Holocaust remembrance Day. The French were with their Vichy government. Shameful and disgraceful. I found the remembrance touching.

This memorial is for the resistance fighters and Jewish people deported from France to concentration camps during WWII. It is very somber. The art is very well done and creates the feeling and mood I believe the artist was trying for. It is free to visit. Be certain to ask for the audio guide. (also free) as it explains a lot about the art and the history enshrined In the memorial.
