Green ticket

In May 1941, a simple green-sealed summons sealed a dark chapter in Parisian history. The Shoah Memorial presents a poignant selection of images and archives, some never before seen, documenting the first large roundup of foreign Jews in Paris. This exhibition unveils, through the power of visuals, the workings of this purportedly administrative operation that concealed a massive deportation. Each photograph, each document sheds light on the vulnerability of the victims and the chilling ingenuity of Nazi and Vichy persecution. It is a necessary confrontation with collective memory, an essential visual testimony to grasp the scale of the tragedy. An unavoidable historical experience, currently at the Shoah Memorial.
