On 28 April 1945, thousands of concentration camp prisoners landed in the port of Malmö (Sweden). In the archive footage, they are just anonymous faces in the middle of a crowd of refugees. But each one has a name. Everyone has a story to tell. The director met up with Elsie, Bernard, Nurit, Piotr, Philipp, Anita and many other survivors. They tell their lives, those of their family members or friends who came to make a new start.
The film A name for a face will be presented for the first time in France in its original version with French subtitles on November 27, 2016 at the Shoah Memorial.
Beyond the film, the project "Every face has a name" aims to identify the people who appear on the archive films of the arrival by boat in Malmö of the survivors of the Shoah.
