Annual Report 2011 Above All, Watch Out June 25, 1943 My sweet love, I hope this little letter reaches you. The man who will arrange a rendezvous is a friend; do what you can to meet him. I won’t describe the anguish I feel here, but I am happy that I haven’t yet seen you arrive here. I hope you’ll do what you must, I beg you, to avoid this at all costs. I am still here, I don’t know for how much time. I’ll do everything I can to hang on, but it seems nearly impossible, without a turn of events that we’re all waiting for. In any case, if fate separates us, my dear, know that I will leave full of courage and energy, because I am sure that now, it’s not far off. The image of you and of my dear little one are with me always, now and forever, and my love for you two will give me the strength to survive and overcome all the obstacles and ordeals still ahead… Above all, my love, stay brave and strong for me. I know that you must be going through terrible times. Above all, don’t give up and be as strong as you have been up to now. ANNUAL REPORT 2011 Above all, watch out. I would be desperate if I saw you arrive here, because, no matter what, I don’t want you to come here to share this vile and hideous existence with me… Above all, for you and our beloved Bichette… The only thing that could keep me here is a valid Romanian passport and a recent certificate of nationality. It’s extremely urgent to get this, as I have been selected for the first deportation. If you can, my love, bring cigarettes, tobacco and something to eat when you meet my friend. He will take care of it. You can trust him fully, and if you can give him the Romanian papers, as well as the address of Fima in Bucharest, of your parents and yours, if possible, so that I can write you if allowed. I am leaving you, my love. But I hope that fate will not separate us for long. My love for you will give me the strength to withstand anything, and you, my darling, I know that you are very brave, and that you will hold on for me. Kiss my darling Bichou. I am leaving you, my love. I adore you and I will fight to the end for you.

The ini- tial endowment of €393 million came from the res- titution by the government and certain financial institutions of dormant accounts from expropria- ted Jews living in France. With the funds gene- rated from this endowment, the Foundation sub- sidizes the Shoah Memorial; supports projects bearing on research and history of the Shoah; pro- vides assistance to survivors in need; and encou- rages the transmission of Jewish culture. 3 An independent and public-benefit foundation Projects submitted to the The Financial Committee Foundation are evaluated by manages the endowment’s five committees made up of investment strategy, provides volunteer experts: Solidarity, an opinion on the largest Memory and Transmission, projects and oversees the proper History of anti-Semitism use of its revenues. and the Shoah, Shoah Education, and Jewish Culture.

  • Annual Report 2008 Genocide in Which Six Million European Jews Were Exter- Minated
    We, women and men in public life, historians, intellectuals and people from all faiths, have come together to declare that the defence of values of justice and fraternity must overwhelm all obstacles to prevail over intolerance, racism and conflict. We say clearly that the Israelis and the Palestinians have a right to their own state, their own sovereignty and security and that any peace process with such aims must be supported. In the face of ignorance, prejudice and competing memories that we reject, we believe in the power of knowledge and the primacy of History. We there- fore affirm, beyond all political considerations, our deter- mination to defend historical truth, for no peace is built on lies.The Holocaust is a historical fact: the annual rePorT 2008 genocide in which six million European Jews were exter- minated. To deny this crime against humanity is not only an insult to the memory of the victims, but also an insult to the very idea of civilization. Hence, we believe that the teaching of this tragedy concerns all those who have at heart the will to prevent further genocides. The same requirement of truth calls on us to recall the actions of the Righteous in Europe and in the Arab and Muslim world. Together, we declare our common desire to promote a sincere dialogue, open and fraternal. It is in this spirit 10, avenue Percier that we have gathered around the Aladdin Project.

  • (IN)CONNUE by Jennifer Ann Young
    ABSTRACT DEUIL D’UNE (IN)CONNUE By Jennifer Ann Young Contemporary French author Patrick Modiano’s novels center almost entirely around memory and the traumatic events surrounding the Occupation. Modiano has spent most of his life dealing with the guilty remorse of having been born directly following the Occupation, while hundreds of thousands of others, including his estranged father, experienced it directly. Modiano’s Dora Bruder focuses on the chance encounter with a stranger and the possibility of caring deeply for this person. The heroine, Dora Bruder, mesmerizes Modiano as he devotes six years of his life to finding out the fate of this young girl, who disappeared during the Occupation. Her fate becomes his mission. This thesis explores the possibilities of loving someone without ever having met him or her. It also further discovers the (im)possibility of mourning the loss of an unknown individual.
