Signing of partnership agreements in January 2017

The Mémorial de la Shoah signed three partnership agreements during the month of January 2017 with the Ministry of Culture and Communication, the Academy of Nice and the Secretary of State for Veterans and Memory. These partnerships will allow the Memorial to strengthen its actions, particularly on the educational level by continuing its work of transmission with young people and training teachers.

  • On 18 January 2017, the Shoah Memorial received Audrey Azoulay, Minister of Culture and Communication, to sign an agreement aimed at strengthening cooperation between the Memorial and the ministry. The signing was followed by a private visit of the new exhibition "Shoah and comics" with the minister.
