AUTUMN 2023 PROGRAM IN
MÉMORIAL DE LA SHOAH
At the end of 2023, we will open a new exhibition “Riss: the Papon Trial” to mark the 25th anniversary of this historic trial, featuring previously unpublished sketches. Additionally, the exhibitions "Music in the Nazi Camps", "Julia Pirotte: photographer and participant in the resistance movement", and "1943: the Warsaw Ghetto and the CDJC uprising" are still ongoing.
Mémorial de la Shoah
As a part of the "Great Witnesses" series, we are providing a platform for the Holocaust Survivors to share their stories through meetings, screenings, and testimonies, including Ginette Kolinka's speech before the premiere of the comic book "Farewell, Birkenau. The story of Ginette Kolinka, an Auschwitz survivor”. Further testimonies can be found during Documentary Film Month: "Writer in Hell. Benevolent" by Jonathan Littell, directed by Jean-Christophe Klotz, and "Insurgents!” by Rafael Lewandowski.
The "History in the Present" series dedicated to the year 1943 will conclude with three meetings on the fate of Jews in the former Italian zone, the history of the Sobibor extermination camp in the General Government and the rescue of Jews in Denmark.
"Great Meetings in the Auditorium" will explore current literature, documentation and photography of past and present wars, while several remembrance tours, workshops and journeys will be available for all ages, individuals and groups, families and pupils.
We look forward to your attendance at one of these events, either at the Mémorial or online via our social media platforms, allowing you to take advantage of these cultural offerings that elevate the Mémorial as a place for life, contemplation, and essential education.
Jacques Fredj, Director of the Mémorial de la Shoah
