“Hélène Berr, a young woman in occupied Paris” Film & Round Table Discussion
|
Student at the Sorbonne, Hélène Berr was 21 when she began her journal. With the introduction of Vichy’s anti-Jewish legislation, her life takes a turn in 1942. Deported with her family on March 27, 1944 to Auschwitz-Birkenau, she dies in Bergen-Belsen, just before the liberation of the camp.
Her journal remained a family treasure for 60 years and was published in 2008. Jérôme Prieur’s documentary is based on a selection from her journal, images from the archives and sobering reenactments. This film was supported by the Foundation of the Memorial de la Shoah, Paris. Film followed by round table led by Sally Levine, Executive Director, Georgia Commission on the Holocaust, and Karen Edlin, President of Hemshech, an Atlanta based holocaust survivors group.
