In Israel, the Shoah gives rise to commemorations that initially only bring together the Ashkenazi community. Yet, during the first 25 years of the state, nearly 800,000 Jews arrived in Israel from Arab countries, who immediately felt excluded from this story.
What will make it an Israeli memory is the awareness of an ethnic divide in the country, and the shock of the Eichmann trial.

In the presence of:

Hanna Yablonka, historian, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and Denis Charbit, professor of political science, Open University of Israel.

Led by:

Georges Bensoussan, editorial manager, Memorial of the Shoah.
