Review the ceremony of
Yom Hashoah 2017

On the occasion of Yom HaShoah, the date chosen by the State of Israel for the commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the heroes of the Jewish Resistance during the Second World War, a 24-hour uninterrupted public reading takes place every year, day and night. On 23 and 24 April 2017, of the 76,000 names inscribed on the Wall of Names, the names of the people deported from France by convoys n° 32 to n° 70 were pronounced one by one. Some 200 people, former deportees, parents, volunteers, children... read in turn, from the lists from Serge Klarsfeld’s Deportation Memorial Book (Association of FFDJF), the names of "those whose only name remains" (Simone Veil).

This ceremony, which took place on the forecourt of the Shoah Memorial in Paris, was entirely filmed:
