Happy 2018-2019 back to all!

2018 and 2017 saw the extinction of two major figures in the memory of the Shoah, Claude Lanzmann and Simone Veil. The void left by their disappearance shows once again the importance of the role of historians and professors in the chain of teaching and transmission. That of the Memorial is also. It will materialize this year by a diversification and a renewal of many of our activities, promoting speech.

It will be about new workshops, new courses, new training for teachers on our different sites, but also outside the walls. With, in the background, ever more partnerships established with cultural and museum institutions but also with communities, allowing us to be present in many territories with a diverse audience.

And beyond the transmission, another equally major objective: to encourage students to decipher, to uncover the pitfalls of propaganda, namely to read between the lines. Because the mission we wish to share with you is not only to bring young people into the field of history, but also into that of civic life, commitment and reflection on the humanistic values that unite us.

Happy back-to-school season to all
Jacques Fredj, director
