Back in pictures on the 5th edition of the Shoah Memorial Book Fair
In the spring, the Memorial invited you to celebrate the book and welcomed authors, researchers, editors and publishers, actors and actresses around recently published books that have marked us as so many favorites.
Over the course of a weekend, many events were planned in all areas of the Memorial: large open-air bookstore on the forecourt, literary meetings, signatures, readings, guided family tour of the exhibition Spirou in the turmoil of the Shoah, book sale...
For this fifth edition, we honored the editions Tallandier and our partner, the newspaper Télérama, to whom we gave carte blanche for two meetings.
