The Shoah Memorial pays tribute to Elie Buzyn

Born in Lodz (Poland) in 1929, Elie is 11 years old when the Nazis create the ghetto in which the Jewish population of the city is locked up. Following the liquidation of the ghetto in summer 1944, he was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau. During the evacuation of the camp, he was transferred to Buchenwald. In the spring of 1945, Elie was one of 426 "children from Buchenwald" welcomed to France by the Œuvre de secours aux enfants (OSE).

Elie Buzyn tirelessly committed himself to testifying and transmitting the history and memory of the Shoah. He left us on May 23, 2022.

On Tuesday, May 23, 2023, the Memorial paid tribute to Elie Buzyn around a commemorative conference.
