Participate in the scientific seminar: 80 years after the end of the camp: where is the research? And how to convey this story? at the Shoah Memorial in Drancy

Monday, October 21, 2024 Tuesday, October 22, 2024

Eighty years after the Liberation of France, the Shoah Memorial proposes to make an inventory of research on the former camp of Drancy, hub of the deportation of Jews from France during the Second World War. 

If the general history of the site is known, many tracks remain to be studied on the functioning of this major memorial in Europe. This seminar was designed to encourage a new generation of students to take it up so that they can, in turn, give new keys of understanding on this period. 

For this, we have invited a panel of experts, historians and archivists specialized in this internment camp. They will present to you the existing archives on the subject and raise the remaining gray areas to explore. 

The first day, Monday, October 21, 2024, is organized as a priority for students in History. During a second morning, on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, we are interested this time in the transmission of this thesis to a wide audience and particularly to schools. These exchanges will be addressed primarily to students who are destined for a career in mediation. 

The two days are cumulative and free upon registration. You can already express your interest in participating.
