During the school holidays, the educational team of the Shoah Memorial offers different workshops adapted to the concerns and sensitivity of young audiences.

WORKSHOP "Resisting through art and literature"

Wednesday, February 22, 2023, from 2:30 PM to 5 PM 

or Wednesday, March 1, 2023 from 2:30 PM to 5 PM

For children aged 9 to 12

From the rise of Nazism to the Second World War, artists mobilized to denounce and testify. Children discover this singular commitment through archival documents, photographs and artistic reproductions. The analysis of the works of Charlotte Salomon, John Heartfield, Marc Chagall and Felix Nussbaum leads them to better understand the role of artists in the Resistance.

Through the character of Spirou, an icon of the Belgian comic strip, children discover daily life in Belgium under the German occupation. From food shortages to the gradual establishment of the exclusion of Jews from society, they follow the questioning and awareness of the two inseparable friends, Spirou and Fantasio.

After a guided tour of the exhibition Spirou in the turmoil of the Shoah, the children participate in a workshop on comics.
