On the occasion of Yom HaShoah, the date chosen by the State of Israel for the commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the heroes of the Jewish Resistance during the Second World War, a 24-hour uninterrupted public reading takes place, 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 resistors, hostages or summarily shot (lists 90 and 91), and people deported by convoys n°1 to n°20. Some 200 people, former deportees, parents, volunteers, children... will take turns to read, from the lists from Serge Klarsfeld’s Deportation Memorial Book (Association of FFDJF), the names of "those whose only name remains" (Simone Veil).
