Origin and history

The Monument to the Jewish dead of Fleury-devant-Douaumont was erected in 1938 by architect Stern. He paid tribute to the French Israelites, foreign allies and volunteers who had fallen for France during the First World War. This monument, located in a village marked by the fighting of Verdun, symbolizes the contribution of Jewish communities to the war effort.

Ranked Historic Monument by order of 2 May 1996, it is identified under the cadastral reference AB 76. Its location, although documented (address: 55100 Fleury-devant-Douaumont), remains approximated according to available sources, with geographical accuracy deemed mediocre (note 5/10). The monument is part of a broader context of commemoration of the victims of the Great War, when Lorraine, a border region, was deeply affected by conflicts.

Available data are mainly from the Merimée database and Monumentum. They also mention its administrative connection to the Meuse (Department 55), in the former Lorraine region, now integrated in the Grand Est. No information is provided on its current accessibility or possible tourist functions (visits, rentals).
