The Shoah Memorial presents its new program of cultural activities
Sunday 05 April 2026Sem 30 August 2026
The Shoah Memorial is delighted to present its cultural program for April-August 2026 supported by exceptional exhibitions: Simone Veil. My sisters and I unveil an intimate facet of the Jacob family; Images de la rafle du "billet vert" presents a collection of previously unpublished photos recently discovered; and an exhibition at allée des Justes highlights the genocide of the Herero and the Nama, the first genocide of the 20th century.
The Memorial opens its doors to contemporary artists for the European Night of Museums (dramatized reading of Edgar Hilsenrath’s Night, with notably the comedian Bastien Bouillon), the White Night (participatory performance with Tami Notsani, and unpublished exhibition by Emmanuel Régent), the Fête de la musique (the groups AutorYno and Degré 41), and as part of our partnership Vives Mémoires with the Théâtre de la Ville (with, notably, the comedian Brandon Kano Butare and the musician Jules Muzanzo).
We also welcome the exceptional testimonies of Tony Molho, a hidden child in occupied Greece, and of Yvonne Buhikare, survivor of the genocide of the Tutsi.
We put cinema in the spotlight with a new edition of our short film festival in May and, in August, with an edition of Ciné parvis dedicated to American classics.
A series of meetings marks the entry of the historian and resistant Marc Bloch to the Pantheon.
We commemorate, through official ceremonies and special meetings, the rehabilitation of Alfred Dreyfus (now annual), the genocide of the Tutsi in Rwanda, the genocide of the Armenians, the National Day of Resistance, the Vel d'Hiv roundup and the Warsaw ghetto uprising.
At the Shoah Memorial in Drancy, the exhibition The End of the Shoah continues. Survive, testify, judge while the Drancy Rendez-vous apprehend the literary news and highlight testimonies of Holocaust survivors, including Ginette Kolinka and Monique Chouraki.
We hope that you will fully take part in this rich program of the Memorial designed to raise awareness about the importance of preserving and transmitting the history of the Holocaust and genocides.
