Biography modifier
Alain Chouraqui is born on November 17th, 1949, in Casablanca, Morocco. He is the son of Sydney Chouraqui and Juliette Ayache. He is Emeritus research director at the National Center for Civic Research (CNRS), Founding-Director of the European Multidisciplinary Federative Institute « Rights, regulations and social transformations » of Aix-Marseille University, and Founding-President of the “Camp des Milles Foundation – Memory and Education” which permitted to open in 2012 the Memorial-Site of Camp des Milles. This opening was the completion of a work started in 1982 with resistant fighters and deportees for the conservation of the last French internment and deportation still intact and its transformation in a place of remembrance, civic education and culture.
He is the head of the UNESCO Chair "Education to Citizenship, Human Sciences and convergence of memories" (coordination of universities in 14 countries, European, Arab, African and Asian). This Chair has been inaugurated on October 8th, 2015, at the Camp des Milles by the French President and the Director-General of UNESCO. The Chair has enabled the development of an international web of memorial institutions: “Memory at the service of education and citizenship” aiming to promote and bring closer memorial sites’ experiences to spread tools to understand the past and apply them in the present time to fight for democratic principles and against authoritarian derives, extremisms, racism and anti-Semitism. This web gathers around forty members, in France and abroad, such as the National Museum of Auschwitz-Birkenau (Poland), the Kigali Genocide Memorial (Rwanda), the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (United States), the Kazerne Dossin (Belgium), the Fossoli Camp (Italy), or the Conference House of Wannsee (Germany) and the Post-Conflict Research Center à Sarajevo (Bosnia-Herzegovina).
He is the author or editor of several scientific publications in France and abroad (direction and realization of seven personal works, 32 contributions and 174 articles, published in 12 distinct languages in 20 countries). He provides or has provided teaching and conferences in several French and foreign universities.
He coordinates several research programs at the national, European and international levels, and has organized more than 60 international scientific meetings. He has been elected –and reelected – President of the hiring board of Law and Political Sciences teachers of the Mediterranean University. He has been or is expert for several European and international organizations (BIT, European Commission, European Foundation of Dublin, UNESCO, etc.). From a multidisciplinary background (law, political sciences, sociology), Alain Chouraqui uses the approaches of all these subjects on the evolution of systems of rules and landmarks in groups or societies faced with crises or lasting destabilization and reconstruction. He applies this multidisciplinary approach to societal relationships and working ones in particular. He currently studies the question of a “European social model” and the creation of social rules at a global level.
During thirty years, he has worked on questions of democratic participation, included in the construction of European and global regulations. This has led him to be elected – and reelected- during seven years as President of the International Research Committee on Organizational and Democratic Participation (66 countries represented).
In this perspective, he created in 2010 the European Multidisciplinary Federative Institute « Rights, regulations and social transformations » of Aix-Marseille University, and founded in 2011 the collection Rights, regulations and actors of social transformations (DREAMS), at Peter Lang publisher, international scientific editor (Berne, Oxford, New-York, Francfort).
Alain Chouraqui has always worked to bring closer research programmes and major social issues throughout the knowledge chain; by taking them into account in the choice of research topics, by research processes with social actors and by a wide diffusion methodology of multidisciplinary results. The Museum memorial of Camp des Milles, of which he spearheaded the creation, provides a significant example of it.
His memory, scientific and citizen work has led him to more than 5000 interviews, articles or subjects about him in the media[1],[2],[3],[4].
Over time, he dedicated himself to the associative world: literacy, humanitarian action, environment, local action, Human Rights, handicap…Thus, he currently is a Qualified Personality of the National Council of Cities (in charge of analyses and propositions about vulnerable neighborhoods and population) and member of the Scientific Council of LICRA (main anti-racist organisation in France).

Research subjects modifier
From a multidisciplinary background (law, political sciences, sociology), Alain Chouraqui uses the approaches of all these subjects on the evolution of systems of rules and landmarks in groups or societies faced with crises or lasting destabilization and reconstruction. He applies this multidisciplinary approach to societal relationships and working ones in particular. He currently studies the question of a “European social model” and the creation of social rules at a global level.
Along the same lines, he coordinates a research, education and culture project on the only French internment and deportation camp still intact (“Memory of Camp des Milles”), with the objective of clarify and deepen, on historical sites and in coordination with the University, the research gains on deregulations, destabilizations and recurrent mechanisms, individual and social, which can lead to mass crimes, and to those leading to forms of resistance.
Camp des Milles Foundation - Memory and Education modifier
The “Camp des Milles Foundation – Memory and Education” is officially recognized nonprofit organization by decree of the Prime Minister on February 25th, 2009 (Official Journal of February 27th, 2009). It has for mission the protection, the public opening of the camp buildings as well as their transformation into a place of civic education and culture. Presided by Alain Chouraqui, Emeritus research director CNRS, with Serge Klarsfeld as vice-president, the Foundation gathers institutional, public, associative and private partners: State (Department of Culture, National Education, Interior, Defense), Provence Alpes Côte d’Azur Region, community of Pays d’Aix, Aix-en-Provence City Council, Fondation pour la Mémoire de la Shoah, CRIF, Association des Fils et Filles des déportés juifs de France, Association du Wagon-souvenir, Association « Mémoire du Camp d’Aix-les Milles », Foundation d’Entreprise Écureuil, Foundation France Télécom, now « Foundation Orange » Orange (entreprise). The Camp des Milles Foundation also benefits from the support of the conseil général des Bouches-du-Rhône, the communauté urbaine Marseille Provence Métropole, the city of Marseille, AXA6, the group Alteor and the SNCF.
An international and multidisciplinary scientific council, presided by the Education officer of Aix-Marseille Académie, is responsible for the contents of the Memorial-Site.
The Camp des Milles is the only French internment and deportation camp still intact. Through a rich and compelling collection of displays, audiovisual pieces and illustrations, the 15000 m2 museography presents the complex history of the Camp des Milles, of the men, women and children who were interned there between 1939 and 1942, and of those who were deported to Auschwitz Birkenau in August and September 1942.
The Camp des Milles Memorial Site intends to be a relevant link between the past and the present. Indeed to-day and to-morrow depend widely on people ability to understand on the one hand how the Holocaust happened and how similar human mechanisms may lead again to the worst, on the other hand how people are able to resist such dangerous spirals.
The Camp des Milles houses then a large history Museum with a strong focus on citizen education in an original “reflective section” fed with relevant results of a 12 years multidisciplinary research program.
These results are based on a specific “convergence approach” on the common mechanisms (individual, collective and institutional) which have led to the worst crimes in the XXth century.
The museum’s action aims then to feed the vigilance and the responsibility in the face of the recurrent spirals of racism, anti-Semitism and extremism of any kind.
Opened in 2012, the Memorial Site welcomes now more than 100 000 visitors and almost 60 000 students per year. Training sessions are also organized for police officers, firefighters, civil servants, NGO members, company managers, social workers, students and others.
Major points of analysis were drawn from the Holocaust historical process and could then be confirmed by the scientific analysis of processes having led to other great genocidal crimes, against Armenians, Sinti and Roma, Tutsis in Rwanda.
Such a “convergence approach” shows that the lessons from the Shoah are universal and provide keys for understanding some recurrent modes of mankind functioning. Therefore, we can say that the present can be precisely enlightened by historic experience and multidisciplinary analysis.
This “convergence approach” has been notably developed in a UNESCO Chair “Education for Citizenship, Human Sciences and Convergence of Memories” (shared with Aix Marseille University and directed by Prof. Alain Chouraqui, president of the Camp des Milles Foundation).
The memory of Holocaust may then be « a reference for the present » and not only « a reverence to the past ». This specific approach points out some widespread individual factors (rejection of others, group effect, passivity, blind submission to authority, conformism, egocentrism, jealousy, fear…). It defines also the steps of the societal processes that combines with the individual factors to possibly lead to such crimes, on the basis of a common societal breeding ground.
In 2017, the Camp des Milles Foundation launches the campaign « Fais le pour toi. Résiste ! » (« Do it for yourself, resist ! ». It aims at sharing History vigilance lessons and promoting republican values to fight against intolerance and encourage citizens’ participation to democracy. This action perpetuates the ones realized every day at the Memorial-Site that reach out to a diverse public. More than messages, the goal of the Memorial-Site, through this unprecedented campaign, is to spread the scientific analyses developed in the Camp des Milles every day with young people: how societies go from a breeding ground of tensions and “ordinary racism” to authoritarianism, or even inhumanity? Which key role do identity-based extremisms play into this? How passivity contributes to mechanisms that lead to the worst situations? And, more than all, how to resist to these mechanisms?
