Il 12 gennaio, nella sala del Centro Sociale, è stato presentato il libro intitolato: Gli ebrei della regione di Mentone tra passato e presente.

On January 12th, the book “The Jews of the Menton Region Between Past and Present” was presented in the Social Center hall.
Speakers included Alberto Cavaglion and the author, Daniel Bensoussan.
It is a very interesting niche book, written in French, which, through extensive and documented research, confirms the presence of Jews in Menton, both Sephardic and Ashkenazi, since the 13th century.
Author Daniel Bensoussan founded the Menton Community in 1969 and built the Temple in honor of his father. The large and attentive audience responded with questions.
The aperitif was also well received.
