The Shoah Memorial begins 2026 with an exceptional program news

At the beginning of this year 2026, the Shoah Memorial dedicates two major exhibitions to key figures in the transmission of the history of the Holocaust: Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah, the unpublished recordings, and Simone Veil. My sisters and I. The first exhibition presents, for the first time, exclusive recordings used in the preparation of the monumental film Shoah, while the second explores a family story that joins the great History.

As part of the 27th January, the International Day dedicated to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust, and in the context of the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Memorial notably hosts the exceptional testimony of Tatiana and Andra Bucci, two Italian sisters survivors of the Shoah. A special program marks the Week of education and actions against racism, antisemitism and anti-LGBT+ hatred, including three exceptional workshops, a theatrical performance with actors from the Cours Florent and a dive into the Dictionnaire amoureux des Juifs de France.

Among the great events of the audito, we offer you several documentaries to discover in preview, as well as meetings around literary releases that offer new knowledge and perspectives on the history of the Holocaust.

The Drancy Shoah Memorial also offers a multitude of encounters: testimonies of Lili Keller Rosenberg and Esther Sénot, survivors of the Holocaust; screenings of the films Le Procès du siècle and La Vague; a theatrical reading for the Spring of the poets; as well as numerous meetings around literary news. The exhibition La fin de la Shoah. Survivre, témoigner, juger begins while the exhibition dedicated to the work of Shelomo Selinger concludes.

As always, the Shoah Memorial and its guests invite you to Paris, Drancy and in the region, to participate in the civic act of transmission, a gesture more than ever necessary today.
