France, documentary, 59 min, produced by the Georges Devereux Center, with the support of the Shoah Memorial, 2019.

They are about ten former hidden children, most of them orphans from the Shoah, born between 1935 and 1943 in France. Their parents, their grandparents, mostly emigrants from Poland, were deported to Auschwitz and Sobibor. They were saved by the skin of their teeth, hidden in the homes of non-Jewish French people. They had never dared to make the trip, but since they participated in the monthly meetings of the group of hidden former children, led by psychologists, at the Shoah Memorial, they wished to visit the Auschwitz camp.

In the presence of the director, Chief Rabbi Olivier Kaufmann, Olivier Lalieu, historian, head of places of memory and spatial planning at the Shoah Memorial, and Nathalie Zajde, lecturer in psychology at the University Paris 8 Vincennes Saint-Denis.

Led by Alexandre Doulut, historian, trainer at the Shoah Memorial.
