“Paris 1924 – Paris 2024” exhibition

Publié le 24 July 2024

Until 11 August at the Shoah Memorial in Drancy

Presented as part of the Paris Olympics this summer, this exhibition highlights the issues of prejudice and discrimination, past and present. How gestures of friendship and support between athletes have left their mark on history just as much as current discriminatory policies. In particular, the victories of Jesse Owens, the black American runner, over Hitler’s use of the Olympics were a global symbol of the destruction of racial prejudice.
