The image of France, Jews and Blacks in the German caricature (1923-1944)
The press drawing is a prime source for the historian. The German caricature is an indispensable support for understanding the rise and victory of Nazism. It refers directly to the sources of the traumatic experience of 1918. In 1923, with the occupation of the Ruhr by the French troops, anti-Franco and anti-Navigator hatred reached a climax. The images produced in the inter-war period played an important role in the dissemination of a highly racist and anti-mite culture which led to the Shoah. By Jo l Kotek, historian, master of conferences at the Free University of Brussels.

Philosophical meeting, 3:30 p.m.
Walter Benjamin
The thought and fate of Walter Benjamin are in a way situated in the Holocaust. His suicide in the autumn of 1940 marks the end of an unclassifiable project, whose work is largely built on the analysis of the symptoms of a new vision of the world, which he does not cease to fear and announce.
Philosopher with Walter Benjamin, it is also to sift through the hands of which fascism has become an organ i-sat ion, it is also to consider the passage in fields as diverse as politics, history or history.
In the presence of Michael L wy, sociologist, philosopher, director of research at the CNRS and teacher of EHESS, Philippe Simay, philosopher, programme director at the International College of Philosophy in Paris, Irving Wohlfarth, Professor of Literature at the University of Reims.
Year by Vanessa Nurock, philosopher, researcher at the CEA.
