Jacques Fredj, the director of the Memorial also recalled about the Nuit de Cristal:
«How not to draw a connection with what happened on October 7. Barbaric massacres of defenseless civilians, the elderly, young girls and children who have been raped and taken hostage. The project of the terrorist organization that carried out these attacks is to murder Jews and destroy the State of Israel.
The mission of the Memorial is to educate against barbarism and hatred of others by teaching the consequences of racism and anti-Semitism in the history of the Shoah and genocides. We teach tolerance as well as the values that underlie our Republic. The Memorial tries, through education, reflection, and the development of critical thinking, to dismantle stereotypes and prejudices, as well as all forms of propaganda whose risk is extremist indoctrination. complotist, anti-Semitic, racist, or a Holocaust denier.
We will continue to develop our actions with strength and determination because we believe in man and humanity.”
