Jewish Culture
T
he Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah
promotes the transmission of the millenniaold
Jewish culture, which the Nazis tried to annihilate.
The goal is to explore the diversity of
the Jewish identity and to transmit it, particularly
to a younger generation. The Jewish Culture
Committee stresses Jewish education, the fight
against anti-Semitism and the translation of key
texts on Jewish heritage.
