Come and discover in detail our temporary exhibition gathering the drawings of the Vel d'Hiv raid made by Cabu in 1967. In spring 1967, the magazine Le Nouveau Candide published the good sheets of La Grande Rafle du Vel d'Hiv by Claude Lévy and Paul Tillard (Robert Laffont). To illustrate this series in five episodes, the editorial staff calls on a young designer of 29 years, Jean Cabut, dit Cabu. In this exhibition, Véronique Cabut, his wife, and the Shoah Memorial, accompanied by Laurent Joly, historian, propose to discover these drawings exhibited for the second time since their publication. This exhibition is also a tribute to a brilliant and popular cartoonist who was one of the twelve victims of the jihadist attack of January 7, 2015 against the editorial staff of Charlie Hebdo.
