Citizenship courses at the Shoah Memorial

Racist or anti-Semitic offences: what legal response can be provided to punish the perpetrator quickly and effectively, while raising awareness of anti-Semitism, racism and their consequences in history?

As part of the development of alternative measures and sentences with a pedagogical value, the Memorial has established partnership agreements with the appeal courts of Paris, Lyon, and Aix-en-Provence. In this context, it has developed a citizenship course for perpetrators of racist or anti-Semitic offences.

For two days, these people will take part in an educational seminar including numerous workshops on the processes of construction and the historical consequences of racism, anti-Semitism and genocide.

Proposed by the Shoah Memorial and funded by DILCRA, this course aims to raise awareness of the evils of racism and antisemitism, at any level, to recall that these are not opinions but crimes and that they are contrary to the republican values of tolerance and brotherhood in our country.
