Deportation Memorial

Located right behind Notre Dame. Situated in the small park at the extreme end of the island (not the park just behind the Notre Dame Cathedral, but the other one, across the street).

To access the memorial, you must climb down narrow stairs which you might not notice with a casual glance. When you're on the "platform" below, you enter the memorial itself by a narrow entrance between two large stone blocks.

Address: Square de l'Ile de France - 7, quai de l'Archévêché, 75004 PARIS

The Shoah Museum

There are some photographs and items from that period in the new Jewish Museum of Art and History in the Marais (3^rd district), with a focus on Jewish resistance and martyrs.

Memorial to D-Day and the GIs

If you want to see the theater of D-Day operations, reserve a full day to take a trip to Normandy:go by train to Caen, then rent a car locally. Visit the Memorial at Caen, and the beaches like Omaha Beach. It is a celebration of the courage of the GIs who fought for freedom and left their lives on French soil.
