As early as 1941, two Poles, a Jewish jurist Raphaël Lemkin and a resistant Catholic Jan Karski, perceived the extent and specific nature of the destruction of Jews among war crimes. The author places the struggle of these men in the long time of the twentieth century, from the genocide of the Armenians to that of the Jews, which put into tension the reality of suffering in front of indifference.
In the presence of the author Annette Becker and Anouche Kunth, researcher at CNRS, IRIS-EHESS.
