Training for secondary school teachers

Training courses are organized for teachers from secondary schools and high schools.
The aim is to help teachers raise their students' awareness of the history of the Holocaust, particularly by drawing on current cultural events.

Paris Academy

The teachers of the Paris Academy are invited to meet authors and works depending on current events, plays on display, or scheduled exhibitions in museums. These meetings are intended to become the starting point of a reflection or an artistic project to be conducted with the classes.

As part of the academic training plan

  • November 30, December 1 and 2, 2016 → from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Facing the Shoah, creating to resist

These days, intended for German-speaking professors and teachers in charge of the history of the arts, allow us to grasp the importance of Judaism in German-speaking cultures from the beginning of the 20th century to the Second World War, to understand the transition from Yiddish to German in the Jewish elite and to discover the links between these languages. The manipulation of the German language by the Nazis and its effects are discussed.
In the presence of academics, museum curators, actors and trainers from the Shoah Memorial.

Among the themes addressed: Paris and Berlin in the Jewish imagination of the interwar period, "Entartete Musik": music banned under the Third Reich, Gerhard Richter and Anselm Kiefer, two artists facing the Shoah, Writings of the resistance: the example of the diary...
