About the exhibition
The archives presented allow us to read and hear the words and voices of the Jacob sisters who tell us about their childhood in Nice, Denise's involvement in the Resistance, the arrest of Simone, Snowy and their mother Yvonne in the spring of 1944, the deportation, the separations, the losses, then the post-war period, until the death of Madeleine in 1952.
Particular attention is paid to their younger brother Jean, a photographer in the making, How can we approach Simone Veil by another path than that, now familiar, of the stateswoman? with the exhibition of several of his images, which remained in the family circle for a long time. How can we restore the innocence of a Nice childhood brutally interrupted by the Occupation and deportation?
The Simone Veil exhibition. Jean Jacob was deported with his father in 1944 by Convoy 73. A tender and tragic family story at the same time, which joins the great History and testifies to the destiny of the Jews of France.My Sisters and Me, designed by director and photographer David Teboul, aims to bring to light the intimate history of the Jacob family. Through a set of documents - correspondence, photographs, interviews - the visitor discovers the deep relationship between Madeleine (Milou), Denise and Simone before, during and after the war.
An intimate dimension rarely highlighted.
