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.{{cite news |last1=Dichek |first1=Bernard |title=Double tragedy: Survivor’s nephew uncovers fate of Polish Jews who fled to USSR |url=https://www.timesofisrael.com/double-tragedy-survivors-nephew-uncovers-fate-of-polish-jews-who-fled-to-ussr/ |access-date=21 May 2021 |work=www.timesofisrael.com |date=29 December 2020}}{{cite news |last1=Ménard |first1=Julie |title=Yvelines : contre les actes et propos racistes et antisémites, des stages avec le Mémorial de la Shoah |url=https://www.leparisien.fr/yvelines-78/yvelines-contre-les-actes-et-propos-racistes-et-antisemites-des-stages-avec-la-fondation-pour-la-memoire-de-la-shoah-04-05-2021-IPP6JJJFRZEOHIZ2EKOD7ZOZPU.php |access-date=21 May 2021 |work=Le Parisien |date=2021-05-04 |language=fr-FR}}{{cite web |title=Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, France {{!}} www.yadvashem.org |url=https://www.yadvashem.org/donors/fondation-pour-la-memoire-de-la-shoah.html |website=fondation-pour-la-memoire-de-la-shoah.html |access-date=21 May 2021 |language=en}}
