This impressive memorial, erected in 1938 by architect Stern, commemorates the French, Allied and foreign Jewish soldiers who died during the First World War. The 25-metre-long stele symbolises their sacrifice and is a rare tribute to the Jewish contribution to the war effort in France.

This memorial was erected for Jewish/Israelite soldiers who fell for France during World War I.

The shape of the monument is reminiscent of the Wailing Wall and is decorated with a Bible in Hebrew letters.
