I am pleased to present to you the program of the Memorial for the second quarter of 2022, which is devoted at length to the 80th anniversary of the summer of 1942, and the roundup of the Vel d'Hiv with the cycle from History to the Present.

We invite you to attend symposiums, conferences, meetings, exceptional testimonies of survivors of this roundup on 16 and 17 July 1942, and outdoor screenings in the summer. We also invite you to celebrate with us the extension of the Wall of the Righteous, the Music Festival, and the 2nd edition of the Generations of the Shoah Forum.

Faced with attempts to falsify History, the Memorial continues, throughout the year 2022, to take several initiatives in order to recall the historical facts related to the persecution, to the deportation and rescue of Jews who lived in France during the Second World War.

As always, our activities aim to preserve and transmit the history of the Shoah, while showing the consequences of racism and antisemitism in History.

Thank you for your support, which allows us to act throughout the year with dynamism, in Paris, in Drancy, at Cercil in Orléans, at Lieu de Mémoire in Chambon-sur-Lignon, at the Jules-Isaac cultural center in Clermont-Ferrand and throughout France.

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

Jacques Fredj, director
