Educational workshops for middle and high school students

Two workshops on the exhibition’s theme introduce students to an artistic practice as a way to learn history :

The Shoah Memorial’s educational workshops are primarily intended for groups that have already addressed the subject in class.

Is artistic creation in wartime a form of resistance?

For students in the second to the last year in high school. Length: 3 hours

Does art have anything to tell us about historic events? How does it preserve memory? The main stages of the Holocaust are examined by analyzing works made before 1945, followed by a discussion of contemporary art depicting the subject. Then the students are asked to create works in response to a given theme.

Led by Mauro Ciccia or Marini Bambi.

Photographing traces, picturing history

For high school students. One or two three-hour-and-thirty-minute sessions.

This workshop allows students to express their visions and mental images of the history of the Holocaust through photographs. Working with an artist and the Shoah Memorial’s documentary sources, they will meet and question a witness.

Led by Natacha Nisic and Jacques-Olivier David.
