The Hidden Children

The Association des Enfants Cachés was an independent association (law of 1901) which brought together, in particular, those Jewish people who, as children during the Second World War, were hidden to escape racial persecution.
It was created in 1992 to allow its members to express themselves, to testify and to transmit what they experienced during the Holocaust. She set up speaking groups that allowed hidden children to come together, express their difficulties of the past, and listen to others.
The association has created a memory library of complete testimonies from hidden children and rescuers.
She edited a quarterly newsletter, distributed worldwide, which published many historical articles on individual or group rescue and search notices for rescuers or fellow travellers.
Since 2002, and thanks to the operation «Paroles d'étoiles», the Association has been regularly requested by the National Education to participate, from memory, in the formation of a responsible citizenship.
The association was dissolved at the end of 2008.

On 14 November 1995, the Ibuka association was established in Rwanda. In France, the association was established later in April 2002. These different structures bring together the survivors of the genocide, the relatives of the victims as well as all those working for the memory of the victims and the fate of the survivors of this genocide.
