Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah is a foundation that was formed in 2000, with recovered money from the property taken from
French Jews during World War II. Simone Veil, a survivor of Auschwitz concentration camp who later became the first directly elected President of the European Parliament
, served as the Foundation's first president.
The Foundation supports history and research into Shoah (Holocaust) as well as other initiatives including activism around the rise of hate crimes.[1][2][3]
The financial commission, chaired by a magistrate from the Court of Auditors, sees to the preservation of the value of the endowment and the proper use of its income.[citation needed]
