Good if familiar materials. Needs more and clearer English captions for us foreigners. It’s free. And not so big. You can easily do another event on the same day.Full review by TC-Voyageur

While there is no such specific exhibit, I beg to differ from the previous response. This is an extremely touching memorial to the 76,000 French victims of the Holocaust and those of us who are descendants, survivors, Jews, or simply humans. It will stay with you forever, as it well should. Take the time to see the Beate and Serge Klarsfeld exhibit; to sign the book honoring Simone Veil; to meditate in the Memorial Hall facing the eternal flame set in a Star of David; to read and touch some of the 76,000 names of those deported, engraved on walls in the courtyard; to acknowledge the courage of those among the 3,300 names on the Wall of the Righteous. It is a small memorial of great significance and I go every single time I am in Paris, which is very often. Not to be missed.

I was there in March 2018 and, although it may have been a temporary exhibit, there was a very extensive presentation of arrests, incarcerations, and life in the camps, with many pictures and much explanation, including in English.
Is the audioguide (5 euros) just for the regular/permanent exhibit, or does it also include the "Holocaust and The Comics" exhibit?
A:
I don't recall there being an audioguide for « Shoah et bande dessinée ». The exhibit is self-explanatory by reading the posted commentaries in French beside each exhibit. I don't recall …
I don't recall there being an audioguide for « Shoah et bande dessinée ». The exhibit is self-explanatory by reading the posted commentaries in French beside each exhibit. I don't recall whether the commentaries were in other languages. There's more on the Shoah Museum, Paris, website.
