Both France and Italy witnessed the extermination of thousands of native and non-native Jews (75,000 in France and over 9,000 in Italy) and experienced complicated and controversial reactions surrounding the legacies of collaboration, resistance, and survival. Some 65 years after the liberation of Auschwitz, Italy and France are still grappling with what remains from the years of occupation. All lectures and the reception are free of charge and open to the public. Film screenings are $7 per day for the general public, $5 for students.
