About Shoah Memorial
The Mémorial de la Shoah is a Holocaust museum, memorial, and documentation center in the heart of the Marais district. It houses the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine (CDJC), an archive founded clandestinely in 1943 during the Nazi occupation to document persecution as it was happening. The current building opened on January 27, 2005, expanded from the original 1957 memorial.

The CDJC archive was created in secret on April 28, 1943, when industrialist Isaac Schneersohn gathered about forty Jewish community leaders in his apartment in Grenoble — while France was still under Nazi occupation. It is one of the only institutions in history that began documenting a genocide while it was still in progress.
