'My life in Hitler’s Germany' by Jérôme Prieur Preview screening

© Arte Sales

In the summer of 1939, a major investigation is launched by three Harvard professors with the Germans who have been exiled since Hitler came to power: they must tell their life in Germany "before and after January 30, 1933", and why they chose exile. Men and women, of all ages, they are Jews, but also Protestants, Catholics, without religion, political opponents, resistors from all sides... The thousands of pages that they have blacked out 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 these women and men who managed to flee in time from the country of the Nazis.
