Ernest and Claire Heilbronn Foundation Awards Ceremony
Great moment of emotion and sharing this Tuesday, March 10 at the Shoah Memorial on the occasion of the award ceremony of the Ernest and Claire Heilbronn Foundation. This date marks the 76th anniversary of the murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau of Ernest and Claire Heilbronn and their daughter, Marcelle Chevalier.
Created in April 2018 by the descendants of Ernest and Claire Heilbronn from the compensation of the Commission for the Compensation of Victims of Spoliations that occurred due to antisemitic legislation in force during the Occupation (CIVS) and endowments of the descendants of Jacques Heilbronn, this foundation is under the aegis of the Shoah Memorial. Recognized as a public utility, its purpose is to reward those who, through their work and research, contribute to the history of Jews in France, education against racism and antisemitism, and the history of the Second World War in France.
Four awards are given each year.
