From 5 September to 14 December 2025 at the Jewish Museum of Belgium
This title, taken from a Leonard Cohen song, highlights the imagination and action of a museum that refuses to depend solely on decisions beyond its control, linked to (lack of) political will and the passing of time. Before it can begin its reconstruction work, it is welcoming the public to admire works by 25 international artists whose practices combine notions of beauty, form, sensuality and touch with urgent questions of identity and territory.

Since October 2023, it has been inviting participants to say the name of a victim of the Holocaust. Once the project is complete, all the recordings will be played continuously in the Memorial. Two-thirds of the names have already been recorded, so the museum is calling on anyone who wishes to participate to do so. Recording takes only a few minutes on site… Every name counts.

As every year, a festive and diverse atmosphere awaits participants at this event, whose name alone represents a journey in itself. Milmoul refers to the Hebrew language, but also to the desire to bring people together and is a nod to the typical Belgian dish: mussels and chips. The legendary Belgian good humour animates this event, which combines musical cabaret performances with a variety of eclectic shows. A project that encourages creativity in Hebrew while promoting intercultural exchange.
Until 18 January 2026 at the Judenplatz Museum

On 28 August 2025 at 1 p.m. at the National Holocaust Centre & Museum
With the last witnesses of the Holocaust disappearing, these rare encounters are all the more important for understanding history, sharing memories and combating rising anti-Semitism in Europe. In particular, they are important for countering those who falsify and simplify history. Many museums are currently doing important educational work, particularly with schools, presenting these valuable testimonies in order to counter the rise of anti-Semitism.

2025 marks the centenary of the modernisation campaign in Frankfurt that transformed the city’s architecture. It saw the emergence of functional buildings and a growing role for modern arts and means of communication. Many of the leading figures in this transformation were secular Jews. Among them were Mayor Ludwig Landmann, some of his deputies, architect Fritz Nathan, artist Erna Pinner, and photographers Ilse Bing and Jeanne Mandello. The exhibition addresses the question: ‘Is there a link between the Jewish tradition of cultivating community spirit and the social, urban and cultural modernisation project known as New Frankfurt?’

Modern art and its relatively easier access for women contributed to their emancipation. This exhibition is the first to share the numerous works of pre-war German Jewish women artists. It allows visitors to follow the evolution of their work, their access to public presentation and the rights they won for themselves and all other German women… before the Nazis came to power and destroyed their careers and their lives.

From 9 October 2025 to 8 March 2026 at the mahJ
For the first retrospective in Paris dedicated to Denise Bellon (1902–1999), the mahJ is presenting nearly 300 photographs, objects, letters and publications by this pioneer of photojournalism and companion of the Surrealists. Born in Paris into a Jewish family originally from Alsace and Germany, Denise Hulmann helped found Alliance-Photo, the first photographic agency of the interwar period. She managed to conceal her Jewish identity in Lyon during the Second World War, continuing her artistic activity. As a result, she left behind a remarkable collection of images of the city under the Occupation. At the end of 1944, the photographer covered the Spanish Republican maquis retreating to the Aude region for Midi Libre. A year later, she produced a report in Moissac on the Maison des Éclaireurs Israélites, which was a refuge for Jewish children during the Holocaust.
