An intergenerational event for the general public audience on the theme: Storytelling, Telling History. In collaboration with Mémorial de la Shoah (Paris)

French-language event

In collaboration with the UNESCO EVA Chair, the Mémorial de la Shoah (Paris) offers intergenerational encounters aimed at a wide audience, to share a time for thinking together about some major notions or questions. We're continuing our series of meetings on the theme of Telling Stories, Telling History.

What are the similarities and differences between storytelling and telling history?

Some historical events mark a break in the ordinary course of time. These seminal events become part of our collective memory.

Storytelling means putting things in order, arranging a set of elements, articulating them, clarifying them to the point of comprehensibility. That's when events make sense. In the same way, it's by telling our own story that we can understand ourselves individually, when we tell our own history, and collectively, when historians write history.
