In this gripping counterpoint to wartime narratives, Holocaust survivor Yehuda Lerner recounts the uprising at the Polish extermination camp of Sobibor — the only successful such rebellion during the war. Drawn from interviews conducted in 1979 during the making of Shoah. New York Film Festival 2001. In person: Claude Lanzmann on Saturday, February 26!

“Sobibor, Oct. 14, 1943, 4 p.m is comprised primarily of an interview Lanzmann conducted in 1979 with a Holocaust survivor named Yehuda Lerner about the uprising at the Polish extermination camp Sobibor, the only successful Jewish-prisoner insurrection of the war. This film isn’t just an epilogue to Shoah, it’s a rebuttal to the dominant mythology of Jewish acquiescence and martyrdom, and as such, a critique of turning history into the comforts of fiction. It’s historiography with a vengeance.”
