Every year more than a million people visit Auschwitz. In the run-up to International Holocaust Remembrance Day, which commemorates the liberation of the camp on 27 January, Télérama wonders: Is this mass tourism not to some extent a profanation of memory? 
The Shoah Memorial in Paris, one of the world’s largest centres for documentation on Jewish memory, continues to collect material for its archives. As one generation gives way to the next, families are more and more willing to hand over objects and documents that define their past. 
Sixty-five years after the end of the conflict, the memory of the World War II lives on in the work of new generations of historians, but also, as De Volkskrant points out, because the shoah plays a fundamental role in our European identity.
The Jewish community in Germany, estimated at 200,000, faces its greatest postwar upheaval, what with the immigration waves from the former Soviet republics and a new generation for whom the Holocaust and Israel are faraway matters, writes Die Zeit
