Jérôme Prieur’s "My life in Hitler’s Germany" Preview screening

© Arte Sales

In the summer of 1939, a major investigation was launched by three Harvard professors into the Germans who had been exiled since Hitler came to power: they were asked to recount their life in Germany "before and after 30 January 1933", and why they chose exile. Men and women, of all ages, they are Jews, but also Protestants, Catholics, without religion, political opponents, resisters of all stripes... The thousands of pages they have blackened and sent from all over the world have remained largely ignored until today. This film makes us hear for the first time the voices of those women and men who managed to flee the country of the Nazis in time.
