In this second quarter of 2024, le Mémorial de la Shoah lance une nouvelle exposition: Paris 1924-Paris 2024 : The Olympic Games, mirror of societies – à l’occasion des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de Paris 2024. The exhibitions Foreigners in the Resistance in France – around the Pantheonization of Missak Manouchian – and Rwanda 1994 – as part of the 30th commemoration of the genocide of the Tutsi – continue with, notably, a cycle including six documentaries in advance-first in connection with this commemoration.

Through our cycle History in the present dedicated to the year 1944, nous vous proposons, entre autres choses, une réunion en hommage à Jean Zay et, également en avant-première, le documentaire Sabine Zlatin ou l'impossible oubli de Daniel Cling, in the 80th commemoration of the roundup of the children of Izieu.

Among the major events in the Auditorium, you can attend two international events: the conference Quantifying the Holocaust which brings together researchers in history, demography, geography, sociology and applied mathematics, and a study day that questions the practices of collection, conservation, and valorization of Shoah objects in the 21st century.

Dans le cadre d'un nouveau partenariat avec le Théâtre de la Ville, nous présentons trois lectures basées sur les œuvres de Dominique Celis, Beata Umubyeyi Mairesse et Agnès Desarthe.

Nous commémorons, par des cérémonies officielles et des réunions spéciales, le soulèvement du ghetto de Varsovie et le Vel d'Hiv roundup, et nous marquons la Journée Nationale de Remembrance pour les Victimes et Héros de la Déportation, la Journée Nationale de la Résistance, and Yom HaShoah, ceremony for reading the names of the victims of the Shoah and the heroes of the Jewish Resistance.

The Memorial hosts artists as part of national events: the White Night, the European Museum Night – a musical reading with Patrick Timsit – and the Music Festival – the Dan Gharibian Trio and Josef, Josef.

At the end of August, Ciné Parvis shows three films related to the exhibition Olympic Games.

At the Shoah Memorial in Drancy, the exhibition Paris 1924-Paris 2024: the Olympic Games, mirror of societies continue. Les Rendez-vous de Drancy apprehends literary news, hosts screenings of fiction and documentary works, and celebrates the precious testimonies of a Holocaust survivor and a hidden child.

Looking forward to seeing you at one of these meetings, either at the Memorial or online, to take advantage of this cultural offer that makes the Memorial an indispensable place for reflection and education, today more than ever.
