Foundation<br />
for the Memory<br />
of the <strong>Shoah</strong><br />
The Foundation for the Memory<br />
of the <strong>Shoah</strong> was created in 2000 as part<br />
of the recognition and compensation<br />
for the Holocaust in France.<br />
The initial endowment of 393 million<br />
euros came from the restitution by<br />
the government and certain financial<br />
institutions of dormant accounts from<br />
expropriated Jews living in France<br />
who were killed during the Holocaust.<br />
With the funds generated from this<br />
endowment, the Foundation subsidizes<br />
the <strong>Shoah</strong> Memorial in Paris; supports<br />
projects bearing on research and the<br />
history of the <strong>Shoah</strong>; provi<strong>de</strong>s assistance<br />
to survivors in need; and enc<strong>our</strong>ages<br />
the transmission of Jewish culture<br />
and heritage.<br />
The Foundation for the Memory<br />
of the <strong>Shoah</strong> upholds key principles:<br />
respect for historical truth; responsibility<br />
and solidarity with victims of anti-Semitic<br />
<strong>la</strong>ws; recognition of the values of<br />
Judaism; and accessibility for everyone.
