Photographer at the European Parliament

The European Union and the memory of the Holocaust

The term Holocaust refers to the murder of six million European Jews, as well as Roma and members of other social groups, condemned to annihilation by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. From 1933 onwards, the Nazi regime implemented a policy of despoilment, state discrimination and persecution of the Jews, followed by pogroms and mass deportation to concentration camps.

This policy was then extended to all the territories and states he dominated in Europe during the Second World War. Mass summary executions ("Shoah by bullets") and extermination camps were the result. The executioners were tried at the Nuremberg Trials in 1945-1946, but the court preferred to indict them for crimes against humanity rather than genocide.

It wasn't until 2005, on the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, that a United Nations resolution designated January 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, also known as "International Day of Commemoration in memory of the victims of the Holocaust". In the European Union, numerous programs are designed to perpetuate the memory of the tragedies that marked the continent's history.

As early as 1995, the European Parliament adopted resolutions calling for remembrance not only through commemorations, but also through education. In November 2018, the European Union became a permanent international partner of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA). This information note is an updated version of the January 2018 version.

Our professional photographer, Daïna Le Lardic, perfectly captured the event on The European Union and Holocaust Remembrance. She captured the important moments in the European Parliament.

Working as a professional photographer in the institutions of the European Union in Brussels requires experience, know-how and discretion. Institutional photography is very special indeed: it must capture and reflect emotions in the best possible way, without intruding on the event. The resulting images help to convey your messages and values, and promote your image, as well as that of your Chairman, senior executives and the many players in your organization.

There are many events, information and decisions to highlight within your company. That's why we guarantee professional corporate and institutional photos, with quality control to match your editorial line as closely as possible. We capture the moment and put people first, without forgetting to send you your photos as quickly as possible for your social networks, such as Facebook, Instragram, Linkedin or Youtube.
