Claude Bochurberg deposits 40 years of sound archives at the Shoah Memorial.

At the beginning of 2021, the Shoah Memorial had the great honor of receiving nearly 40 years of recordings from the radio show Mémoire et Vigilance, created and hosted by Claude Bochurberg on Radio Shalom. These are thousands of hours of exceptional sound archives, which will allow us to rehear the voices of the survivors of the Shoah, many of whom have now disappeared, deported men and women, hidden children, fighters, resistance fighters and memory activists.

Born in 1942 in Marseille, Claude Bochurberg is a figure of the memory of the Shoah and one of its main chroniclers. His father, Maurice-André Bochurberg, a non-commissioned officer in the French army, was deported without return in convoy 73 on May 15, 1944 to the Baltic countries. Claude Bochurberg has created and hosted since 1981 the program "Mémoire et Vigilance" and the section "memory" in Jewish News. Through its articles, broadcasts and activities within the Synagogue of the Place des Vosges and the memory commission of the Consistory of Paris, it gives voice to hundreds of survivors, witnesses and historians.
