Annette, de Mare a hija

As part of the 2023 European Heritage Days, the Deportation Martyrs Memorial closes its musical season with a performance of the show Annette, de Mare a hija__. Led by Leïla Mendez, singer of the band YAÏA, and three musicians, the story of Annette Cabelli-Florentin is told. Annette was born in 1925 in Greece, and from the spring of 1943, she was one of 45,000 Jews from Salonika deported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. In 2010, Leïla Mendez went to meet Annette, one of the last representatives of Judeo-Spanish culture and language. From this interview was born this show, filmed and sung account of a world almost disappeared in the Second World War.

Designed by architect Pingusson at the tip of the Ile de la Cité, the Memorial of the Martyrs of the Deportation perpetuates the memory of the 200,000 French victims of the deportation. It was in 1953 that the Réseau du Souvenir decided to erect a memorial in memory of the 200,000 French deportees. The choice is made of a Memorial practically invisible from the outside, similar to a funerary slab and developing in the basement. It is designed by the architect Pingusson, close to the avant-garde architects, and who distinguished himself in the reconstruction of cities devastated during the war. The very expressive architecture of the Memorial aims to translate the hell of deportation. It includes a crypt with a gallery lined with glass facets; the play of materials and symbols, especially around the triangle, is particularly marked. The inauguration by General de Gaulle took place on 12 April 1962\. Every year the Memorial is part of the ceremonies of the National Day of Remembrance of
