Le Mémorial de la Shoah est un lieu de mémoire et de pédagogie sur l’histoire du génocide des Juifs pendant la 2ème guerre mondiale. Sa visite est émouvante. La Crypte semble emplie des millions d’âmes qui ont péri de la barbarie nazie. Jusqu’au 30/8/23, l’exposition « Julia Pirotte, photographe et résistante » honore le lieu puisqu’engagement et devoir de mémoire marquent le travail de cette photojournaliste. Ses photos sont instinctives. « Quand je ressens un battement de coeur, je sais que ce sera une bonne photo. » dit-elle. Cette femme juive, polonaise, et communiste qui ne pensait pas survivre à la guerre va, avec son Leica, fixer des scènes de vie et de guerre afin d’en témoigner dans la presse. Résistante au sein des FTP-MOI, Julia Pirotte est au cœur de l’action. Elle couvre la libération de Marseille, photographie les femmes étrangères internées dans les camps Bompard, initiés par la Troisième République à partir de janvier 1939, montre Varsovie en ruine et, en 1946, documente l’antisémitisme, toujours présent, avec le pogrom de Kielce.  Son reportage convainc des rescapés des camps d’extermination de ne pas rentrer en Pologne. Ses portraits révèlent une artiste humaniste. Son objectif bienveillant sonde l’âme des femmes, des enfants et des hommes qu’elle croise. Elle photographie les tirailleurs sénégalais et son regard se fait universaliste. Découvrez Julia Pirotte au mémorial de la Shoah. Vous cherchez votre prochaine exposition ?

Preservation of Perseverance (Entry 5, Museum)

We decided to go to the Memorial de la Shoah, a museum dedicated to remembering the Holocaust. This may have been one of my favorite museums here so far. The art museums are cool and all, but seeing how a country memorializes a historical event that was incredibly impactful for the world was very interesting to me.

This building of this museum began taking place in 1943 with the collection of Jewish documents. They had a mission to preserve the persecution of the Jews. This is interesting to me that they began compiling the information before the war was even officially over in 1945. The museum was inaugurated in 2005 with the intention of it being a place of memory, a museum, and a place for cultural events. (It’s important to note that there was a monument in commemoration of the Jewish people in the years before this, but this is now the primary place of remembrance along with various smaller monuments in Pere Lachaise.) It is really inspiring to me that this place was created for so many different uses which point to the idea of preserving and remembering the persecution of the Jews.

I absolutely loved my experience at this museum. It was really interesting to experience a museum of French memory. In fact, the temporary exhibitions and most of the permanent museum were entirely in French. Thank goodness for google translate! We used it to understand the main ideas of the different rooms. I liked the temporary exhibition because it was focused on children during the war, specifically their art. It was cool to see children memorialized in that way, but incredibly sad to see what they had gone through and how the war had taken away their innocence.  The other temporary exhibition was about the art march during the war, and it was interesting to see art from during the war. When we entered the museum (which is free to go to, by the way!), it seemed pretty easy to navigate our way around, but we ended up going into the permanent museum the wrong way. All in all, the organization of the permanent collection was amazing. It talked about how the French people were persecuted through the war, gave a general synopsis of some ideas, and then talked about the perseverance of the French people. I didn’t expect to see them talk about the perseverance so much, but it was interesting to see how the French see this because they had been helpers to Hitler during the war. I would say about half of it was focused on the remembrance of the perseverance of the French throughout the persecution.

Something I must emphasize before I discuss the narrative is that the museum was almost entirely in French, except for some of the main parts of this exhibit, and the girls I was with and I were definitely the only Americans there. There was a lot of technology to interact with and you could find names of French people in the museum by searching for them or interact with the stories of people in pictures by listening to them. In fact, there was a whole hallway of videos of survivors being played. I enjoyed looking at the artifacts and the maps while interacting with the story being told. All of these clues lead me to understand that this museum is telling the history of the French for the French. It’s a remembrance of THEIR people and this museum shows how they choose to remember. I could engage with the history by having prior knowledge of France’s part in the war and knowing that this museum is purposeful in how they remember their people.

As I mentioned, the narrative of the permanent exhibit was really impactful to my understanding of how the French view this part of their history. I thought that this exhibition portrayed the narrative and story of the French influence/impact during the Holocaust. This exhibit was very informative, yet I found myself needing to take a break from attempting to translate and understand the information because it was quite heavy, especially towards the middle of the exhibit. The beginning of it was some backstory but heavily focused on the Germans and how they began the war, while the end was about how the French healed from the war and ended with a room of images to remember the people. The middle struck me the most because it discussed the narrative of French perseverance. There was a section about resistance groups and a section purely telling the stories of the people during the war. I loved that this area allowed you to interact with history, actually hearing the people tell their story (or a family member if the person didn’t survive). This entire exhibit struck a chord with my history-minded self because the French acknowledged their mistakes and celebrated the people who persevered. It was also very cool that they acknowledged how the areas that they had colonized were affected and how they reacted to the war. This narrative is quite striking for a museum like this. I learned how the French choose to memorialize this time period, but also I learned about the war from a French perspective which was different than I have been taught in the US. The primary lessons are those of perseverance, but also another lesson was how important it is to remember all the aspects of the event. Remembering not just the stories of the people in power or the government, but the stories of the people who actually lived it. They chose to preserve how their people persevered through such a difficult time in global history. As much as this exhibit displayed this narrative, I think the whole museum pointed to these ideas as well. The history being told here is the history of the French, and I really appreciate that I had the opportunity to interact with the narrative that they chose to memorialize in their memorial to the survivors.

Apres l’émouvante exposition des photos de Patrick Zachmann au musée d’Art et d’Histoire du judaïsme consacrée à la mémoire, le Mémorial de la Shoah explore, jusqu’au 6 mars, celle des homosexuels et des lesbiennes dans l’Europe nazie. Le destin des « triangles roses » est resté tabou après 1945. De 1933 à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale, 100000 homosexuels sont fichés; 50000 condamnés et 5000 à 10000 périssent dans les camps. Cette répression est rendue possible par le paragraphe 175 du Code pénal allemand qui criminalisait l'homosexualité masculine. Il est durci par le III ème Reich. Le parti nazi, en dépit d’une valorisation de l’amitié entre les hommes et de l’esthétique homoérotique des films de Riefenstahl va lutter durement contre l’homosexualité. La rhétorique homophobe des nazis stigmatise « l’inutilité sociale » des homosexuels. Sans enfant, ils menacent la survie de la race aryenne. Leur « féminité » fragilise l’idéal de « l’état viril ». La nuit des longs couteaux en 34 voit l’élimination de Röhm, chef de la SA et homosexuel notoire. Un office central du Reich pour combattre homosexualité et avortement est créé. Les déportations dans les camps commencent. Les homosexuels y sont en bas de la hiérarchie, juste au dessus des juifs. Ils sont isolés par crainte de la « contagion », castrés et euthanasiés. Les lesbiennes échappent à cette barbarie. Elles sont assimilés aux triangles noires, les inadaptées sociales ou vert, les criminelles. Les nazis voyant l’homosexualité comme une forme de dégénérescence, sa présence dans les territoires occupés avec des populations « inférieures » était jugée bénéfique. Le cynisme absolu ! Au sortir de l’exposition, il nous prend une irrésistible envie de revoir l’ange bleu et Cabaret Abonnez-vous à mon compte Instagram paris_aimelart pour ne rien perdre de l’actualité des galeries, des fondations et des musées parisiens. @memorialshoahofficiel #memorialdelashoah @mahj @pzachmann #patrickzachmann @lgbt @lgbtq #lgbt #lgbtq #lgbtfrance #parisaimelart #paris_aimelart #parisexpos #parisexposition #parismusee  #parisexposition #exposparis #paris @parismusees #parisculturel #exposparis #quefaireaparis (à Mémorial de la Shoah) https://www.instagram.com/p/CZNINq3IQLu/?utm_medium=tumblr

상설 전시를 집중해서 보고나니 피곤해서 다음 전시는 간단히 볼 요량이었는데.. 인트로를 읽는 순간부터 정신이 팍 들더니 건물을 빠져나올 땐 이미 밤이 되었다는... 2차 대전 당시 소련군은 많은 카메라 병을 파견했었는데, 그들이 찍은 사진 및 영상들은 당시의 참상을 알리는데 그 당시에도, 그리고 이후인 지금까지크게 기여하게 된다.(이래서 소련군은 미워할 수가 없다...ㅋㅋ) 아우슈비츠 외의 많은 비극은 소련군 카메라에 담긴 경우가 많은데, 처음에는 적국인 독일군의 잔인함을 보여주기 위해 찍은 영상들이 이후에는 이에 맞선 자국 군대의 사기를 올리고 사람들의 참여를 독려하기 위해(영화의 역사, 프로파간다), 또 이후에는 미국 중심의 동맹 질서에 맞서기 위한 차원에서 자신들의 위치를 부각시키기 위해 이용되기도 했다. 그런데 이런 목적들이 있다보니, 많은 희생자들이 유대인인 것을 언급하지 않거나, 일부러 누락하는 방식으로 보도하였다.(다양한 여권들을 보여줌으로써, 여러 나라의 사람들이 희생되었다는 식으로 나레이터가 말하지만 정작 대부분 유대인) 이후에도 동구권 내에서조차 자료들이 쉽게 릴리즈되지 않다보니 이 자료들은 비교적 최근에 알려진 것들인데 - 만약 이 자료들이 진작에 보다 널리, 다양한 방식으로 알려졌더라면 오늘날 사람들의 집단무의식 속에 각인된 홀로코스트의 원형 또한 지금과는 조금은 다른 방식이었을 것이다 -고 전시는 말한다. 그리고 나는 만에 하나 전쟁을 피할 수 없는 상황이 내게 닥쳤을 때, 카메라를 들어야겠단 생각을 잠깐 했다. #memorialdelashoah #filmerlaguerre(Mémorial de la Shoah에서)

 매일 이렇게 전시회와 박물관들을 다닐 수 있는 것은 전적으로 싸기 때문이다. 아무리 비싸도 5유로를 넘는 경우가 드물다. 내 기억에 남는 건 트뤼포 전시 딱 한 번이었다. 학생 할인을 받아 3유로인 경우가 조금 있었고, ���실 대다수는 공짜다. 돌아가는 날짜가 눈에 들어오니, 꼭 가보고 싶었지만 ‘다음’으로 미뤄뒀던 곳들을 틈나는대로 찾아가고 있다. 오늘은 쇼아 기념관에 갔다. 프랑스에는 이스라엘, 미국 다음으로 가장 많은 유대인이 현재 살고 있으며, 2차 대전 당시 프랑스에 거주하던 유대인들은 나치와 비시 정권의 틈 사이에서 많은 고통을 받았다. 1995년에 이르러서야 시라크 대통령은 유대인들을 독일의 수용소로 넘긴 비시 정권에 대한 국가적 책임을 처음으로 인정했고, 이는 2005년의 이 기념관 건립으로 이어졌다.

 홀로코스트와 관련한 많은 글들과 이야기 및 영화들을 접했지만, 그 당시의 직접적인 사진들 및 서류들을 보는 것은 또 다른 차원의 느낌을 가져다준다. 이런 말도 안 되는 일들이 일어났다는 참혹한 심정에 사실 더 보탤 수 있는 말도 없어 그저 놀라고 압도당하기만 했다. 동시에 다시 이런 일들이 일어날 수도 있을 것만 같은, 상대의 존재에 대한 부정이 너무나도 쉽게 일어나는 세상에 살고 있는 것 같다는 생각을 지울 수 없었다.

 전쟁이 끝난 후 수용소 생존자들의 사진들, 당시 국가별 희생당한 유대인들의 통계에서 폴란드 89%, 300만명 사망, 그리고 마지막의 7만 6천명 희생자의 이름이 새겨진 벽.

 별개로 홀로코스트와 관련된 전시나 자로는 항상 아카이빙의 정점을 보여주는 듯하다. 그만큼 많은 사람들의 노력이 들어갔겠지만.. 나는 미시사 및 개인사가 매우 중요하다고 보는 입장이었는데 막상 감상자의 위치에 들어섰을 때 많은 이야기들을 패스하게 되었다. 곳곳에 여러 개인의 스토리들이 책으로까지 묶여있었고, 많은 생존자들의 증언 및 회고 영상이 재생되고 있었으며, 마지막 벽에서는 특정 이름을 검색하면 그 사람의 사진과 출생년월, 사망년월 및 기타 개인 정보들을 볼 수 있었는데 - 이 방대한 자료들과 거기에 녹아있는 태도 및 이념에 경탄하면서도 정작 감상자로서 이 모든 정보를 수용할 수는 없었던 것이다. 이렇게 적고나니 결국 역사가는 미시사의 발굴을 넘어 해석과 집약된 서술 및 재배치를 해야한다는 점에서 르포르타주와 구분되는 면이 있다고 생각된다.

 이번에 유럽에 오면서 꼭 가고 싶었던 곳 중에 하나가 아우슈비츠와 그 일대였다. 한 친구가 홀로코스트와 메모리얼 관련한 장소들을 쭉 다녔는데 그 곳에서 보고 듣고 느꼈을 것들이 어떠했을지 궁금했다. 이미 아우슈비츠 등은 못 가겠지만(파리에서 일요일에 출발하는 프로그램을 이 기념관에서 주관하던데, 350유로다...) 오늘의 기억과 다가올 독일에서의 방문이 조금이나마 그때의 궁금증을 푸는데 도움이 될 것 같다.
