Jews in resistance

Jewish resistance or resistance of the Jews, dedicated to the rescue or fighting the oppressor, they participated with courage in the liberation of the French territory, much to the dismay of those who spread the myth of a certain Jewish passivity.

Through this exhibition, without underestimating or exaggerating the role played by the Jews of France, the documentation centre of the Shoah Memorial wished to pay tribute to those who risked their lives or even paid for the freedom we know today.

The exhibition site includes a research module on Resistance Jews during the Second World War.
