The living memory of the victims of the Holocaust
“Shoah”, at 9:10 p.m., on France 2.
Six million dead and, among the survivors, these figures who have returned from the worst who speak to Claude Lanzmann's camera and whom you will never forget.
Simon Srebnik, the little 13-year-old singer from the Chelmno camp, one of two survivors out of 400,000 dead, who returned to the scene of the massacres at the age of 47.
Filip Müller, his haunted voice and his look of humanity on the verge of overcome madness, he who had to take the bodies out of the gas chamber.
Abraham Bomba, escaped from Treblinka, where the Nazis forced him to cut the hair of women who were going to be gassed.
The rest after this ad
Yes, “Shoah” is a tough, very tough film.
Dare we also say that he is gentle?
Yes.
For the humanity that the filmmaker restores to these damaged and noble faces.
For his refusal to resort to any archive, to these black and white images of bulldozers transporting thousands of bodies anonymized like puppets to the liberation of the extermination camps.
