Mémorial des Martyrs de la Déportation

  • Address: Ile de la Cité, Paris

Fodor's Review:

On the eastern tip of the Ile de la Cité lies this extraordinary monument to the 200,000 men, women, and children who died in Nazi concentration camps during World War II. The evocative memorial was intentionally designed to be claustrophobic; a light at the end of the long, narrow tunnel that is the main part of the installation symbolizes hope; the walls are studded with 200,000 pieces of quartz crystal.
