Life After the Camps
Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2012
March 1 - 11, 2012
A rare Holocaust documentary focused on survivors, using personal records, family albums and personal reminiscences to create a revealing look at the courage, strength and sometimes contradictory emotions of those who had been to hell and back.

How were they able to once again become part of a society that had so cruelly betrayed them–or at best remained silent to their fate?
