Mariette Diamant (90) came to Argentina in 1941 from France to escape the Nazis. She kept her Jewish heritage a secret for more than 70 years.

She decided to face her children and come clean "before she died" A documentary tells the story of the woman, who is now the protagonist of the film "The Two Mariettes" "I went to a nun's school, I was a devotee of Catholicism and I was baptized at the age of 7," says Mariette, who lives in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, with her four children and 12 grandchildren. "I don't know, anything could be, but not even in years of doing therapy could I get rid of this stone," she says of the secret she kept for so many years, "for fear of failing my mother who was brave" and for fear of "betraying" her, she adds. "She was not an abandoned child, she did not know any ghetto or detention camp," says writer Helene Gutkowski.
