Between history and memory. Strasbourg and Alsace faced with Nazism
Conférence-débat / Hôtel de Ville (9 rue Brûlée)
In May 2022, the Historical Commission for the History of the Medical Faculty of the Reichsuniversität Straßburg (CHRUS) made public the results of its work, which documented, among other areas, the fate of the 86 Jewish men and women from all over Europe who were deported and executed at the Struthof camp.
A conference-debate on this theme will be based on the topicality of the report published in May 2022 and on the exhibition "Facing nazism. The Alsatian case".
