"Shoah" by Claude Lanzmann: Unreleased recordings.
Mémorial de la Shoah
🍃
Claude Lanzmann dedicated twelve years of his life to collecting the testimonies of witnesses, perpetrators, and survivors for his major cinematic work. The Mémorial de la Shoah unveils the behind-the-scenes aspects of this monumental work by presenting audio and visual archives that have been completely hidden from the public until now. These valuable testimonies, excluded during the final editing, resonate with a unique historical significance through a thematic journey. The selection highlights the filmmaker's relentless method for documenting the indescribable and the raw power of oral storytelling. From December 11, 2025, to March 30, 2026, this event offers a renewed perspective on collective memory and the documentary creation process. This is an essential memorial event to grasp the scope of a legacy that continues to shape our understanding of the 20th century.
