Eighty years after the Shoah, the last witnesses are disappearing. The challenge is to share their memory in the broadest sense of the term. Individual memory of shattered lives, collective memory that also serves to combat new genocides. The generation of survivors armed themselves with this formidable resilience to show that they would not only survive, that they would live and work tirelessly to ensure that the lives of future generations would be happy. The second generation was confronted with the silences in the face of the need to rebuild, and this wave of the past was difficult for their parents to confront. This exhibition provides an opportunity to analyse the variety of ways in which the third generation approached this memory and their involvement in humanist struggles around the world, as well as their fears for future generations.
