Discover the new cultural activities program

Sunday, 01 January 2023 Friday, 31 March 2023

At the beginning of 2023, the Shoah Memorial invites you to discover, on the one hand, its new major exhibition Spirou in the turmoil of the Shoah, an opportunity to discuss a difficult subject with your family, and on the other hand, the exhibition dedicated to photographer and resistance fighter Julie Pirotte. Don’t miss out either
the end of exhibitions 11,400 children. Portraits by C215 and "To the grace of God", the Churches and the Shoah, as well as the cycle and visits devoted to them.

As usual, we offer a selection of events with multiple themes:
– events around January 27, an international day dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust (note a screening-meeting
in aForeword of the documentary by Antoine Lifaut and Caroline Protat dedicated to Ginette Kolinka, survivors of the Shoah);

– a special program as part of the Week of Education and Actions against Racism, Anti-Semitism and LGBT+ Hate (including an evening during which laughter and humor will be used as a vehicle for education);

– our History in the Present cycle is now devoted to the year 1943;

– our very first short film festival;

– and the main events in the auditorium, including several premieres of screenings and an exceptional meeting with comic book author Joann Sfar.

Throughout 2023, we continue our work of remembrance with the commemorations, throughout the year, of the deportation of the Jews from France in 1943. You can also take part in scheduled memory trips to Auschwitz and Warsaw.

Finally, at the Shoah Memorial in Drancy, a new exhibition School and Resistance is opening, and historians, journalists and sociologists are also waiting for you there for several appointments around books on the Holocaust.

We hope to see you at one of these events, either at the Memorial or online and live on our website and social media.
