Beate and Serge Klarsfeld. The struggles of memory, 1968-1978

Booklet of the exhibition, by Olivier Lalieu, edition Mémorial de la Shoah (2018)

The decade 1968-1978 marks an important turning point in the evolution of the memory of the Shoah in Europe and worldwide. The spectacular action of the couple formed by Beate and Serge Klarsfeld, carried out on several continents, plays a major role in this movement towards recognition. Their influence continues to this day. Often, thanks to them, the view on Nazism and the genocide of the Jews in Germany and France will be turned upside down. 50 years after the slap administered by Beate Klarsfeld in 1968 to West German Chancellor Kurt Georg Kiesinger and 40 years after the publication in 1978 by Serge Klarsfeld of the Memorial of the Deportation of the Jews from France, the work of Beate and Serge Klarsfeld in favor of the victims of the Shoah and historical knowledge, against the impunity of former leaders of the Final Solution and against anti-Semitism, is here retraced. The context is one of profound cultural and political upheavals, while the Cold War is not over. After the publication of their memoirs in 2015, the history and motivations of Beate and Serge Klarsfeld’s commitments are recounted through numerous unpublished documents and objects, joining those of an entire generation for which they have become symbols.

No historical event escapes fiction. With caution, sometimes with genius, the comic strip ventured, like literature and cinema, on the terrain of the Shoah. Everyone knows Maus by Art Spiegelman. But beyond this masterpiece, how and since when did the graphic authors take up the subject? It is to these questions that the exhibition Shoah and Comics proposed by the Shoah Memorial in 2017 responds. This book echoes it, deepens the questioning and shows how the image at the service of memory has made the unspeakable horror of shadow pass into light.

Didier Pasamonik, publisher, journalist and exhibition curator, also directs the special BD issues of L'Express (last published: Gotlib). Joël Kotek, a Belgian political scientist and historian, is professor at the Université libre de Bruxelles and lecturer at Sciences Po Paris. He is the author of numerous books and articles on the Holocaust and genocide.
