On the occasion of Yom HaShoah, the date chosen by the State of Israel to commemorate the victims of the Shoah and the heroes of the Jewish resistance during the Second World War, an uninterrupted public reading takes place 24 hours a day, day and night, from Sunday, May 5 to Monday, May 6, 2024.
This year are read the names of the Jews of France deported by convoys 22 to 57. Some 200 people, former deportees, parents, volunteers, children... will read in turn, from the lists from the book Memorial de la déportation by Serge Klarsfeld (published by the Association des FFDJF), the names of "those whose only name remains" (Simone Veil).
