From the filmed images of the trial, this unique moment in judicial history is recreated: 107 witnesses, 42 lawyers, 6 weeks of court, 800 accredited journalists.
For these lawyers, witnesses, jurors, journalists, this trial has changed their lives. They make us share the tension of the debates, understand the strategy of the lawyers, feel the emotion of the victims and take stock of the shift that this event has constituted for the history and memory of the Shoah.
