On the occasion of Yom HaShoah, the date chosen by the State of Israel to commemorate the victims of the Shoah and the heroes of the Jewish resistance during the Second World War, an uninterrupted public reading takes place 24 hours a day, day and night. Of the 76,000 names inscribed on the Wall of Names, will be pronounced, one by one, the names of people deported from France by convoys no. 71 to 85, Jews who died in internment camps in France, executed as resistance fighters, hostages, or summarily killed (lists 90 and 91), and people deported by convoys 1 to 20. Some 200 people, former deportees, parents, volunteers, children... will take turns to read, from the lists from the Memorial Deportation Book of Serge Klarsfeld, (published by the Association of FFDJF), the names of "those whose only name remains" (Simone Veil).
