The French Newspaper Le Républicain Lorrain related the story of a Convoy 77 project at Metz (eastern France).
Students from technical college Raymond Cortat, Aurillac, were awarded for their project. They wrote a biography of Serge Foder, deported by convoy 77.
A new 2 years project has been launched to combat antisemitism in Europe through education on the 4th of April 2023.
“Us and Them”, an exhibition of the Musée de l’Homme, is now available in a traveling format for French schools.
In each of the 32 countries of birth of the deportees, high school students will search for traces of people who were born in and/or lived in the town or village where the students live today.
Alone or in a group, students will go to the town hall, consult the local archives, look for witnesses, photos, documents.
Supervised by a teacher, the students will carry out a thorough investigation in order to find information, documents and testimonials about people who died or disappeared.
The presentation of the information gathered for a biography will be a matter for discussion and cooperation between the students and their teacher.
To help them in their work, high school students will receive specially developed teaching materials.
The biographies written will be posted on the site and accessible to families, researchers and the general public. A forum will allow participants from different countries to share their experiences on the site.
Each group will determine its objectives, its method of work, and the division of tasks among its members.
High school students will be able to know and better understand the historical events that took place in their immediate environment, while allowing the memory of deportees of the convoy 77 to be forgotten.
