Every year since 2000,

the Shoah Memorial organizes, in partnership with the Regional Council of Île-de-France, study trips to the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp.

The high school students who participate in these days of memory are supervised by historians of the Memorial and accompanied by former deportees, direct witnesses of the Nazi project of destruction of the Jews of Europe, a crime unprecedented in the history of humanity. These trips are an opportunity for them to understand, appropriate and transmit the memory of the genocide.

Upon their return, the students are invited to carry out a collective educational project in order to communicate their experience to their peers within their institutions. Their work is also presented through a traveling exhibition called 'Vision Lycéenne du camp d'Auschwitz Birkenau'.
