Music in resistance? All Saints' Day holidays

For children aged 10 to 13

After a discovery of the Yiddish world and pre-war klezmer, children are invited to wonder about the role of this music in daily life. On the other hand, the session allows us to address the arrival in power of the Nazis and the gradual bringing to heel of all forms of artistic expression: music, painting, theater... In this particular context, how could men and women continue to transmit and develop a living Yiddish culture, sometimes at the risk of their own lives? This universe, now disappeared, is reconstituted thanks to excerpts of music and archival documents.

A writing workshop then allows each child to "put into words" a rediscovered music.
