This journal also constitutes a notebook for a great study that it will write if it manages to survive. The subject is the Nazi language. This new language that everyone speaks, Goebbels like the man in the street, the Gestapo officials like the Jews themselves, who unwittingly pick up the language of their executioners. R sister the tyranny of this language becomes for Klemperer more important than survival itself.

The image of France, the Jews and the Blacks in the German caricature (1923-1944)
The press drawing is a reliable source for the historian. The German caricature constitutes an indispensable support for understanding the Mont E and the victory of Nazism. It directly refers to the sources of the trauma from 1918. In 1923, with the occupation of the Ruhr by the French troops, anti-French and anti-nuclear hatred reached a climax. The images produced in the interwar period played an important role in the dissemination of a racist and anti-Semitic culture that represented the Shoah. By Jo l Kotek, historian, my Conf Thesis presents the Free University of Brussels.

Philosophical meeting, 3:30 PM
Walter Benjamin
The thought and destiny of Walter Benjamin are in a way the gold of the Holocaust. His suicide in the autumn of 1940 marks the end of an unclassifiable crivain, whose work is largely constructed through the analysis of the symptoms of a new vision of the world, which he does not cease to fear and denounce.
Philosopher with Walter Benjamin, it is both sifting through the way in which fascism was organized, it is also considering the passage into fields as diverse as politics, history, or aesthetics.
In the presence of Michael L wy, sociologist, philosopher, research director at the CNRS and teacher at the EHESS, Philippe Simay, philosopher, program director at the Coll ge International de philosophie Paris, Irving Wohlfarth, professor of German literature at the university of Reims.
Anim e by Vanessa Nurock, philosopher, researcher at the CEA.
