Briefs of convoy 6

The purpose of the Association is to gather people whose family member or friend was deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau by convoy N° 6 on July 17, 1942, leaving from the Pithiviers camp in Loiret. The specificity of this convoy was to "empty" the camps of Pithiviers and Beaune-la-Rolande to make way for the "raided" of the Vel’ d'Hiv’.

The Hidden Children

The association of Hidden Children was an independent association (law of 1901) gathering, more particularly, Jewish people who, being children during the Second World War, were hidden to flee 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 discussion groups that allowed the hidden children to find each other, to express their past difficulties, and to be attentive to others.
The association has created a memory library made up of complete testimonies of hidden children and saviors.
It has published a quarterly bulletin, distributed throughout the world, which has published numerous historical articles on individual or collective rescue and wanted notices with a view to finding saviors or fellow travelers.
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 in late 2008.

Ibuka – Memory, Justice and Support for Survivors

The association Ibuka, officially "Ibuka – Memory, Justice and Support for the Survivors", is a Non-Governmental Organization that works for the memory of the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda, justice for those responsible for genocidal crimes and support for the survivors of the massacres perpetrated in 1994. 'Ibuka', in Kinyarwanda means 'Remember'.

The association was founded in Belgium on 16 August 1994. On 28 May 1995, an association with the same name was created in Switzerland with the same objective as its Belgian counterpart. On November 14, 1995, the association Ibuka was created in Rwanda. In France, the association was created 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.
