Additional Details for Lecture
Title: Paris Under Nazi Occupation
Description: On June 14, 1940, Paris woke up to an occupied city. For four years, France experienced one of the darkest periods in its history. Despite the shortages, fear, and persecution, cultural life, auctions, and nightlife continued almost as usual. How could an entire city continue to live and celebrate under the shadow of occupation, and what does this reality tell us about the collaboration, adaptation, and moral choices of that era?
Lecturer: Sabine Jacobovitz, a native of Paris, graduate of the Sorbonne University, retired lawyer in France and Israel, expert and lecturer on French culture.
