On Paris Occupied: Shoah & Deportation: Hidden behind Notre-Dame, this underground memorial is dedicated to 200,000 people deported from France to Nazi camps. Narrow corridors, low ceilings and thousands of points of light evoke confinement and the feeling of no escape. It is a place for silence: walk slowly, read a few inscriptions and take time to breathe.
