Erinnerungen an die Shoah

Erinnerungen an die Shoah

1995. On the 50th anniversary of the liberation of the concentration camps, Annick Cojean, a senior reporter for Le Monde newspaper, begins a series of five articles on memories of the Shoah, talking to survivors who have remained silent for a long time or who have not been listened to, but also to children of Nazis about their burden of being “born guilty”.

Memories of the Shoah reports on the silence, the legacy and the passing on of memories, but also on the harrowing encounters between the children of the perpetrators and the

children of the victims.

For these texts, Annick Cojean received the Prix Albert Londres, France's most prestigious journalism award, in 1996. These memories, which remain relevant and important today, have been reinterpreted with power, poetry and subtlety by Théa Rojzman (script) and Tamia Baudouin (illustrations).
