In 2022-2023, the Shoah Memorial will remain mobilized on all fronts of transmission.

Our institution has continued to grow and strengthen its territorial coverage with the sole aim of being as close as possible to education professionals and students. The Shoah Memorial in Paris and Drancy, the Cercil in Orléans, the place of memory of Chambon-sur-Lignon, the Jules-Isaac center in Clermont-Ferrand, the Pithiviers station, the southern branch and our academic correspondents, harmoniously distributed throughout the territory, are all points of support and levers to support your educational projects.

The Shoah Memorial will also increase its activity in an unprecedented way this year: new educational devices and traveling exhibitions, memory trails all over France around emblematic sites of the Holocaust and the Resistance, study trips to Auschwitz and Europe, training of National Education staff, etc. Our teams exchange, share, innovate, and offer new educational tools, original documents from our collections, and mediations rethought in light of the major educational challenges we face.

Transmitting the history of the genocides of the twentieth century, describing, decrypting and reversing the falsifications of history and the rejection of the Other are at the heart of our missions.
The challenges are immense and our common path is sometimes difficult. But we are moving forward, deeply convinced that our educational role is above all to be as close as possible to your expectations and needs.

Have a great start to the school year, everyone!
