Between History and Emotion: An evening to make the voices of the 230 women from the convoy of January 24, 1943 outside the walls echo

A sound journey to the heart of memory

It is the story of 230 women leaving from Compiègne for Auschwitz. It is the story of a departure towards the unknown, the horror. Some will return, 49. Some will return and testify. Charlotte Delbo, with the help of some fellow survivors, paints a portrait of these 230 deported women. Today we want to make these disappeared voices heard, like an echo through time.
