[Session reserved for school groups – not open to the general public]
Izio Rosenman is a Polish Jewish child who survived the Buchenwald concentration camp and has lived in the Olympiades neighbourhood of Paris's 13th arrondissement since 1956. After meeting Kamel Chabane, a local boy who became a historian and history teacher whose father disappeared during the Algerian War, Izio Rosenman decided to take part in the project organised by the Year 10 class at Flaubert secondary school. He is speaking publicly for the first time in front of students. They all travel together to Buchenwald, where Izio Rosenman recounts his experiences as a child in the ghetto and the camp, in front of the students' cameras. A documentary film that brings together memories of deportation and the Algerian War. A work of remembrance to build society. A vaccine against the poison of hatred.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with director Margaux Chouraqui and Kamel Chabane.
