[11] This book is a multidisciplinary study of state funerals in France between the French Revolution and the death of President François Mitterrand.

It aims to explain how the funerals of revered figures such as Voltaire, Napoleon Bonaparte, Victor Hugo, and Charles de Gaulle became major events that drew public attention for days or even weeks and helped mold the French national memory.

The result was a significant event that drew crowds of tens or hundreds of thousands to the streets and squares of Paris and, thanks to the mass media, reached a broad audience throughout France.

[13] This book examines how Zionism, as a modern national movement with educational aspirations, sought to instill its values among the Jewish public while overcoming the challenges facing it: the need to mold a population of emigrants who came from diverse cultural traditions and turn them into a united national community in an unfamiliar new-old land.

All this led to massive investment in education, which, alongside security and settling the land, was considered a primary focus of activity by the movement and the State of Israel.

The third part explores the use of visual culture for national education, focusing on illustrations in books, historical museums, and television programs.

The three parts combine to form a complex picture that reveals the various ways in which the Zionist movement sought to shape both the individual and society following its national values.
