VISIT THE MEMORIAL WITH CHILDREN

The history of the Shoah can offend, through certain statements or images, the sensibilities of the youngest. The Memorial offers children aged 8 to 12 a tour of the permanent exhibition relating to the history of Jews in France during the Second World War, adapted to their level and sensitivity.

An accompanying booklet with questions that appeal to the children’s reasoning allows them to walk inside the museum while avoiding the most shocking images. Reference points guide them towards the most suitable documents – photographs, audio testimonies, film excerpts... During and after the visit, parents or accompanying adults are invited to help children complete this booklet. The last page is devoted to a drawing, a text or a free reflection that can be displayed in an area of the Memorial reserved for this purpose.

Prepare a visit with children

The Memorial provides parents and educators with various resources to prepare a site visit with children for whom the first contact, before entering the building to join the permanent exhibition, will be the Parvis with the bronze cylinder bearing the names of the Warsaw Ghetto and several camps and the Wall of the names of Jews deported from France to these camps.

  • The description and meaning of these places can be presented to children in advance of the visit by using the Memorial website (Link to the Places of Remembrance page)
  • The "Attic of Sarah" can also be consulted with profit. This introduction site to the history of the Holocaust has been designed for primary school children, and more specifically for 8-12 year olds, with due regard for the sensitivity of young visitors.
  • Documents to download: The archive documents integrated into the website "Sarah’s Attic" can be downloaded to serve as a support for exchanges with the children, before and also after the visit of the Memorial.

Le Mémorial de la Shoah is a member of the Marais Culture + network and the Réseau des Lieux de Mémoire de la Shoah in France.
