Memorial de la Shoah will be in New York June 10-11
On June 10 and 11 (Monday and Tuesday), representatives of the Mémorial de la Shoah in Paris will be meeting with survivors from all countries as well as their family members to scan treasured photographs and documents of all types, from all countries. The scanned images will become part of the permanent collection of Mémorial de la Shoah, the preeminent repository of Holocaust archives in Europe. The Mémorial de la Shoah, located in the heart of Paris, is a critically important institution. In addition to maintaining its massive archives, it functions as an important educational and cultural center and sacred place of remembrance. Your participation in this scanning event will ensure that your family’s story will be accessible to scholars and will contribute to their research.
You and your family members and descendants are invited to participate in this event. Bring along all of the kinds of items that help tell the story of your life and family before and during the war – photographs, letters, drawings, journals, diaries, school reports, identity cards, passports, ration cards, visas, official and personal correspondence regarding efforts to emigrate, etc. We at the Shoah Memorial are interested in scanning all of these types of items, regardless of whether they are from France or other
countries. Please bring originals if possible. If originals are not available, bring very good copies.
If you like, you may receive an electronic file containing scans of all of your photos and written
documents. This file will be a valuable resource that you may keep or share with others.
The scanning of archives on June 10 and 11, 2024, will take place at the following location: |
