Yom HaShoah, reading of commemorative names

On the occasion of Yom HaShoah, the date chosen by the State of Israel for the commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust and the heroes of the Jewish Resistance during the Second World War, a 24-hour uninterrupted public reading takes place, day and night.

This year, the names of the Jews deported from France by convoys 5 to 35 are being read. Between 00:37 and 6:41, the names of the deportees from convoys 12 to 20 will be read remotely.

The commemoration will be broadcast live on the YouTube page of the Shoah Memorial.
