Participate in the crossed paths Mémorial de la Shoah and mahJ: Literary explorations
Wednesday, May 18, 2022 Wednesday, June 15, 2022
This crossed route between the mahJ and the Shoah Memorial offers complementary activities
to question historical events and memory through literary narratives.
At the Memorial
Visit-workshop 'Works for memory: the Shoah in literature'
During and after the Shoah, in France as everywhere in Europe, many were those who took up the pen to say and tell the unspeakable. From testimony to fiction, from autobiography to theatre, from the newspaper to poetry, the power of the verb invites us to question and understand History. Why write? When to write and in what form? Around the Shoah Memorial and then within the permanent exhibition, the workshop allows to walk through the most beautiful pages of Simone Veil, Joseph Kessel, Robert Badinter, Hélène Berr, Patrick Modiano or even Primo Levi.
Dates:
- Wednesday, May 18, 2022, 2:30-5:00 PM
- Wednesday, June 15, 2022, from 2:30 PM to 5:00 PM
Rate: 10€

Au mahJ
The walks outside the walls 'A la recherche de Perec': 'The child of Belleville' then 'The Perecquian heritage'
«In search of Perec»: Understanding Georges Perec is to decipher a writing imbued with mystery, playing with constraints, and one of the most singular works of world literature. It is also exploring the "other places" of this son of Polish Jewish immigrants who liked to walk around the city.
Two separate walks outside the walls, one around Belleville Park, the other in the Père-Lachaise district, allow to reconstruct the "Perec puzzle".
Both courses require good physical condition. It is not essential to register for both walks.
Dates:
- Tuesday, May 17, 2022, 2:30-5:00 PM
- Tuesday, June 14, 2022, 2:30 PM-5:00 PM
Rate: 14€
