Originally from Nice, the Jacob family is a French Jewish family, perfectly assimilated and deeply attached to republican values. With the Second World War, the life of Simone and her close ones changes. Based on archival documents and testimonies, this workshop proposes to retrace the journey of Simone Veil and her family during these turbulent years. The anti-Jewish measures of Vichy, the repression of the German occupier, the acts of resistance and the concentration camp universe are addressed by drawing on several activities. The last part attempts to understand how Simone Veil became a major figure of the 20th century, by addressing her multiple postwar struggles.

Through the journey of Simone Veil, née Jacob, the children discover a French Jewish family strongly attached to republican values, whose destiny changed during the Second World War. Using archival documents from the Jacob family, they address the history of the exclusion of Jews from France and then highlight the commitment of Simone Veil in the work of memory and the presence of the Righteous in collective memory.

Liaison officer, summoner of escapees or Jewish children, doctor... women played an essential role in the Resistance. Yet, in memory and history, their actions were long neglected, as the image of the resistant-combatant was first imposed. By focusing on describing the itineraries and actions of five figures of resistance fighters, students are also introduced to historical research, by reconstructing the journeys of heroic women, committed in one way or another from 1940-1941.

The photographs taken by the Allies during the discovery of the concentration camps largely contributed to creating a false representation of the Holocaust. But the analysis of the pictures taken by the SS at Auschwitz in 1944 allows us to grasp, provided we question them, the history and representations of this place that has become central to the history of the genocide of the Jews. During the workshop, students will work on various visual and textual archives, reflect on their relationship with images and exercise critical thinking skills.

Since 1945, the judiciary has been trying to answer questions raised by crimes of genocide: what are the crimes that can be qualified as genocide? Who are those responsible for these crimes? How can those involved in them be punished? Based on sound and visual archives of the trials of the 20th century (notably Nuremberg in 1945-1946, Eichmann in 1961, Klaus Barbie in 1987 and the Gacaca of Rwanda in the 2000s), this workshop aims to initiate a reflection on how a society recovers from genocide and allows survivors to reimagine a life together.

How are prejudices formed? How are they rooted in a society? How can they sometimes lead to institutionalized racism or genocide? Students address these questions by analyzing the prejudices conveyed through language or propaganda images. They also try to put into perspective the role of certain racist prejudices in the history of the 20th century.

Plot or conspiracy theory? The history of the Holocaust is a telling example of public opinion manipulation. Structured by anti-Semitism, Nazi ideology is based on a conspiratorial view of the world. By establishing relevant links between history and the very contemporary period, the workshop aims to provide tools to better analyze the images and discourses circulating on the Internet and social networks.

At a time when traditional media are being questioned and social networks occupy a considerable place in the daily life of students, to disentangle the true from the false becomes more and more difficult and yet indispensable. In the context of a historical perspective and the study of different media (texts, photographs, videos), students learn to stimulate their critical mind, identify the sources of information and verify them. This workshop, which can be adapted according to the school curricula of each class concerned, aims at the appropriation of useful tools and reflexes in order to better cope with a continuous flow of information.

Used by the Nazi power as a real tool of propaganda (cinema, press, radio, posters), the competition was put to contribution to make the 1936 Olympics the symbol of the greatness of the Third Reich. Sport was thus regularly instrumentalized by political regimes that provoked resistance from civil societies. This workshop gives a large place to the fate of athletes victims of persecution, solidarity between athletes and media coverage of their fights.

What do the images tell us? How can we analyze them and place them in a precise historical context? This workshop is a "laboratory of image creation": it makes a connection with history, the images of past propaganda and those of the present (media, social networks). Students experiment with various graphic games around the concepts of robot portraits, caricature and dehumanization. These exercises then allow them to decipher a propaganda poster.

What is the point of remembering? How does memory work? Who remembers and why? Christian Boltanski, Jiro Taniguchi, Muriel Bloch and many other artists have addressed these questions. From the discovery of very varied works (installation, comics, music, tale...), children will try to understand the main mechanisms of memory and its major functions. They will then discuss the use and role of commemorative plaques.
