The theme of the National Resistance and Deportation Competition for 2025-2026 is:
«The end of the Holocaust and the Nazi concentration camp universe. Survive, testify, judge (1944-1948)»
Supporting students and teachers for the National Resistance and Deportation Competition of the school year 2025-2026, 'The end of the Holocaust and the Nazi concentration camp universe. Survive, witness, judge (1944-1948)», will once again be a highlight of the educational activities of the Shoah Memorial.
Workshops and exploratory visits have been rethought or created in the light of this new subject. Training is also offered for teachers. An event programme featuring renowned historians will enrich the existing offer presented in this brochure.
The archives of our Foundation will be mobilized in order to facilitate research and student work. Access to the testimonials collected for many years by our services will be a highlight of the preparation for the competition.
A traveling exhibition dedicated to this year’s theme will be created and available in schools for teachers who request it. It will also be presented on the Drancy site starting from February 2026. Mediations for students can be scheduled.
Our services remain attentive to your projects, both in Paris, in Drancy and in schools in the regions in order to offer responses adapted to the choices of educational teams.
The archives of the Memorial sites dedicated to the CNRD for previous years remain available:
