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

A sound journey at the heart of memory

It is the story of 230 women who leave Compiègne for Auschwitz. It is the story of a journey into the unknown, the horror. Some will return, 49. Some will come back 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.
