Mémorial de la Shoah, Paris, 17 rue Geoffroy-l'Asnier - 75004 Paris
From 10 February to 29 November 2026
Through family archives and rare correspondence, the Shoah Memorial reveals the intimate life of Simone Veil and the shattered destiny of the Jacob siblings
From February 10 to November 29, 2026, the Shoah Memorial is presenting a unique exhibition dedicated to the unbreakable bond between Simone Veil and her sisters, Madeleine and Denise. Curated by David Teboul, this immersive exhibition explores the history of the Jacob family, from the carefree years in Nice to the tragedy of deportation. Through exceptional documents—diaries, letters, and private photographs on display for the first time—the exhibition offers a glimpse into the stateswoman’s inner circle. It also pays tribute to her brother Jean, a photographer whose images are highlighted here, and brings the voices of the three sisters to life through readings by actresses such as Isabelle Huppert.
From 10am to 6pm. 10am to 9pm. Thursday. Closed Saturday, May 22 and July 14, 2026.
