The delegation, which included Serge Klarsfeld, Ha\u00efm Korsia (France\u2019s Chief Rabbi) and Francis Kalifat (President of the French <em>Crif<\/em>), was welcomed by local authorities and paid a long tribute to the millions of victims of the Holocaust.

After an emotional minute\u2019s silence, they visited the camp\u2019s memorial and museum, before a long discussion with the handful of French high school students that attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>A few hours after the visit, the meeting of education ministers at the Council of Europe and the tribute paid by President Emmanuel Macron to Holocaust survivors further highlighted the importance of remembering the past and fighting Holocaust denial and antisemitism.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23567 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/convoi77.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/\u00a9-BARTOSZ-SIEDLIK-AFP.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"280\" height=\"187\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a9 BARTOSZ SIEDLIK \/ AFP<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">On the 27th of January, the European project Convoi 77 brought to light in the parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe<\/h2>\n<h3>International day of Commemoration in the Memory of the Victims of Holocaust is organized each year : Europe as pioneer for the duty of remembrance<\/h3>\n<p>In Strasbourg where the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) regularly meets, numerous speeches allowed to arouse again the European willingness to transmit efficiently and sustainably the memory of Holocaust to younger generations.

The innovating project of Convoi 77 has been evoked as a pioneer of a new dynamic that should be encouraged, by Emmanuel Macron (the French president), and Jean-Michel Blanquer (Minister of Education, Youth and Sport). The enthusiastic mobilization of the teachers and pupils of 19 European countries involved in the Convoi 77 project (which aims at transmitting differently) as much as the multiple benefits they reaped of this experience, appeared as evident in the video they shot for the ceremony. Some pupils described their impression to do an \u201c<em>investigation\u201d<\/em> when they wrote the biography of a deportee that lived one day in their home town. They also expressed their feeling to <em>\u201cgive an identity and a personality\u00a0back\u201d<\/em> to the victims and also to come out of oblivion <em>\u201clost stories that are not told\u201d<\/em>. On the other side, teachers underlined a <em>\u201cgood opportunity\u201d <\/em>to make their pupils <em>\u201cfuture wise citizens\u201d<\/em>, who are more able to master rhetoric and to engage themselves actively in their apprenticeships when they search the material to reconstruct deportees\u2019 lives (archives, oral testimonies\u2026). Eleven class delegations of Convoi 77 should have received directly a price to reward the quality of their work in Strasbourg. But because of the pandemic, they followed the conference through their screens\u2026<\/p>\n<h3>A French initiative, the \u00ab\u00a0Observatory of History teaching in Europe\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0: a promise to reform the transmission of history in 47 European countries<\/h3>\n<p>The recent creation of an \u00ab\u00a0Observatory of History teaching in Europe\u00a0\u00bb on a French idea embodies the European determination to underline the fundamental importance of this field of study in order to develop the awareness of youngest European generations about the past of the continent. The creation of this observatory finds its roots in a growing concern, which the Croatian General Secretary of the Council of Europe (Marija Pej\u010dinovi\u0107 Buri\u0107)\u00a0mentioned to the audience\u00a0: <em>\u201cThe Historical consciousness of Holocaust decays\u00a0; young people know less this episod of History\u201d. <\/em>The spokesman of the ADLE (Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe), Jacques Maire,\u00a0also raised awareness : <em>\u201c15% of French people have anti-Semitic prejudices according to a recent survey\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The observatory will be there to allow the formation of cooperations between European educational systems, to facilitate exchanges about pedagogical methods and to compare them, and so to <em>\u201cimprove the depth and quality\u201d<\/em> of history teaching through Europe, according to the French minister of education. If young generations doom history to oblivion and ignore lives that have been broken, we would \u201c<em>take the risk to allow the worst discourses to reappear\u201d<\/em>.

It was already in the Council of Europe, in front of the ministers of education. Her speech was rebroadcasted at the beginning of the ceremony. Simone Veil warned of the progressive disappearance of eyewitnesses of the Holocaust, which would result in a terrible loss to perpetuate memory. The testimony of Eva Clark, born on the 29th of April in 1945, who spoke from the United-Kingdom, where she now lives, was certainly the most moving moment of this ceremony. Liliane Segre, who survived and now lives in Italy, also delivered an emotional speech, which she concluded with these words\u00a0: <em>\u201cWe never leave Auschwitz\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-23564 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/convoi77.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/\u00a9-Conseil-de-lEurope-Simone-Veil-prononce-son-discours-en-octobre-2002-devant-lAssemble\u0301e-Parlementaire-du-Conseil-de-lEurope-a\u0300-Strasbourg.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"289\" height=\"163\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00a9 Council of Europe<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Simone Veil during her speech in October 2002<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>All the participants that were gathered for the ceremony seemed to agree on the pressing need to develop alternative pedagogical projects, such as Convoi 77, to teach Holocaust history.

Even if Joseph barely knows his new apprentice, Fran\u00e7ois Mercier, he still decides to entrust the keys of the shop and apartment to him, before he is able to join his family into exile. However, things don\u2019t turn out as expected. Joseph can\u2019t escape from Paris and he asks Fran\u00e7ois and his wife, Blanche, to hide him in the cellar\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Adieu Monsieur Haffmann<\/em> is adapted from a theatre play. And sadly, it is visible on the screen. But this limit doesn\u2019t prevent the film-maker to create an accomplished movie behind closed door with on the stage three interesting characters, confronted to moral quandaries in front of History. The viewer has access to the delicately drawn characteristics of the characters\u00a0: the cowardice and sense of inferiority of Fran\u00e7ois, unable to succeed and to conceive, the righteousness of Blanche, and the growing anxiety of Joseph, caught in a trap.<\/p>\n<p>The French newspaper <em>Le Monde<\/em> recently underlined the limits of the plot that suffered according to the journalists from too many common points with another movie, <em>The last metro<\/em>, by Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut.

It appears that this movie is refined, touching, completely driven by the talent of the young first role, Rebecca Marder, coming from the French Comedy.<\/p>\n<p>Ir\u00e8ne dreams about entering the Conservatory of Theatre. She is swirling and solar. She can\u2019t stop running everywhere and spends her days to rehearse plays, to work in a theatre, to enjoy with friends in a caf\u00e9\u2026 At home, she is surrounded by a discreet but caring father, a free and emancipated grandmother and an argumentative brother.<\/p>\n<p>Soon, the viewer understands that the plot takes place in Paris during the Second World War. Ir\u00e8ne and the members of her family are Jewish and little by little, they are confronted to danger and privations that are even more foolish. However, Ir\u00e8ne seems to see nothing\u00a0: she is swept away by first loves and concentrated on her passion for theatre and acting.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clearly evident that the film director has been profoundly inspired by the stirring <em>Diary<\/em> written by H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Berr.
