Using Hélène Berr’s diary, Ms. Péron will examine the official and clandestine roles played by the UGIF during the persecution and deportation of France’s Jews, and how sources such as diaries reveal individual stories in all their humanity, in many cases before they were reduced to a typed line on a convoy list. Finally, Ms. Péron will discuss using sources such as diaries and video testimonies to teach about the Shoah despite the inexorable disappearance of the last remaining witnesses.
