The Shoah Memorial organized a visit for the benefit of the magistrates of the general prosecutor’s office and public prosecutors on April 10, 2018. The delegation, composed of about twenty magistrates and led by Catherine Champrenault, attorney general, attended a guided tour by Jacques Fredj, director of the Memorial, before discussing the activities of the Memorial.

During the visit, the magistrates visited the different areas of the museum, from the Wall of Names to the exhibitions, passing through the archives, research and documentation center which welcomes researchers from all over the world. The director introduced them to the many activities offered by the Memorial: workshops for schoolchildren, traveling exhibitions, training for teachers (The memorial is finally a training organization approved by the Ministry of National Education and Higher Education Research), meetings with witnesses, historians, writers, film screenings, etc...

Karen Taieb, head of the archives, then presented to them the documentary collection, and in particular the administrative documents and legal texts produced by the Vichy regime, as well as the archives used at the Nuremberg trials.

Finally, the magistrates and the director of the Memorial exchanged, in the form of questions and answers, about "citizenship internships", set up under partnership agreements with the appeal courts of Paris, Lyon and Aix-en-Provence and funded by the DILCRAH. These courses are a judicial response to racist or anti-Semitic offences that allow the perpetrator to be punished quickly and effectively by raising awareness about racism, anti-Semitism and their consequences.
