STOLEN OBJECTS, BROKEN LIVES

DESTINS OF ARTISTS

For students from the 3rd grade onwards

Synonymous with artistic encounters and excitement, the École de Paris brings together before the war, in the Montparnasse district, artists from very diverse backgrounds such as Marc Chagall or Amedeo Modigliani. Witnessing the political upheavals of 1930s Europe, some artists, in France and abroad, call on spectators to react to this rise in violence. This tour proposes to discover the works of these artists who have marked the history of modern art with their imprint.

1st session: course-workshop Jewish artists from the School of Paris (duration: 2 h 30)
2nd session: Artistic creation in wartime workshop at the Shoah Memorial in Paris (duration: 3 h)

BEING JEWISH IN PARIS

Course with the pantheon

FROM HISTORY TO MEMORY

For middle and high school students

This inter-museum is part of a twofold educational perspective: the visit to the Shoah Memorial, through the history of the deportation of the Jews from France, where one crosses notably the singular journey of Simone Veil and the Jacob family. It is also about the family memory of the deportation in France, in the post-war years, before the gradual entry of this memory into the public sphere. The visit to the Pantheon sheds light on this slow and complex itinerary, also recalling the values and founding principles of the nation, from the Revolution to the present day.

Course with the establishment of Defense Communication and Audiovisual Production (ECPAD)

WAR REPORTERS

For students from 9th grade to 12th grade

At ECPAD, students first study the work of German reporters: their materials, instructions and constraints. They then analyze the produced propaganda images. At the Shoah Memorial, they discover photographs by German and allied reporters that evoke the genocide of the Jews. From the analysis of an image, each student creates his own "notebook" which includes his observations, writings and sketches.

Tour with the Army Museum

PROPAGANDA AND COUNTER-PROPAGANDA DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR

For students from 9th grade to 12th grade

This route highlights the importance of propaganda during the Second World War. The specificities of Nazi propaganda, and those implemented by Vichy are detailed in the Shoah Memorial. At the Musée de l'Armée, propaganda and counter-propaganda are presented in the more general context of military operations, highlighting the importance of the Appeal of 18 June, the beginnings of the Vichy regime and the special role played by collaborationist movements.

Tour with the National Museum of the History of Immigration

Route with the Memorial of the Martyrs of the Deportation

DEPORTATION MEMORIALS: FROM SINGULAR TO PLURAL

For students from 2nd grade to Terminale

The arrangement of the two memorials, neighbouring and complementary, highlights the confusion, both voluntary and involuntary, which still often existed in the 1950s and 1960s between 'political deportee' and 'racial deportee'. The visit of the two sites, from the angle of architectural choices, allows to visualize the essential stages of a memory and a history of the deportation.

Tour with the National Archives

 DAILY LIFE IN THE PARIS OF OCCUPATION

For students from 9th grade to 12th grade

A first half-day at the National Archives (site of Paris) is devoted to the discovery of archival sources on the difficulties of daily life and the progressive exclusion of Jews from any social life under the Occupation. A second half-day, at the Shoah Memorial, allows students to discover other documents on the Jews during the war. After the visit, the students study a filmed testimony.

Route with the House of Izieu

CHILDREN’S JOURNEY

For 9th grade students

In Izieu, the pupils discover the site (house and exhibition) then, in a workshop, become aware of the diversity of the Jewish populations of Europe before, during and after the Second World War. They work directly on the archives documenting the journeys of the families of the children of Izieu. At the Shoah Memorial, they follow a visit focused on the fate of children extended by a study of filmed testimony.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF MEMORY

For the students of 1st and 12th grade

In Izieu, students discover archives of the resounding Barbie trial and then try to evaluate its impact, both locally and nationally. At the Shoah Memorial, students address the issue of memory construction, particularly through the archives, the Wall of Names and the last room of the museum dedicated to the memory of the Shoah.

Tour with THE MUSEUM OF THE ORDER OF LIBERATION

THE DEPORTATIONS DURING THE SECOND WORLD WAR: HISTORY AND MEMORIES

For students from the 3rd grade onwards 

This route allows students to discover and analyze the different types of deportations carried out by the Nazis during the Second World War. Whether they concern political opponents, resistance fighters or the Jews of Europe, they have obeyed diverse logics that students will deepen from various media. At the Shoah Memorial, they work on written testimonies, video extracts, comic strips.  At the Museum of the Order of the Liberation, it is through the study of drawings and stories of resistance fighters that they learn about the functioning of the concentration camp system.  An educational booklet, a visit support, will allow students to consolidate their achievements after the discovery of these two institutions. These activities lead them to perceive and understand the progressive stages of the transmission of the memory of deportations.
