On the occasion of the release of J'avais 15 ans. Vivre, survivre, revivre. Les leçons de vie d'un adolescent rescapé d'Auschwitz by Élie Buzyn, ed. Alisio, 2018.
August 1944. After a happy childhood at Lodz, in Poland, Elijah undergoes the deportation and the murder of his own, Auschwitz and the ' Death marches ' until Buchenwald. He is 15 years old. The camp was liberated on April 11, 1945. How can I return to life? After the dehumanization, the liberation is long and complex. A time that lasts for decades. Fifty years during which he cannot tell. Carried by the voices of the past, he tries to rebuild elsewhere what has been destroyed. Strange journey from Buchenwald to France, passing through Palestine and Algeria, strange journey from death to life. Élie Buzyn delivers here an exceptional testimony on the occasion of the first publication of his Memories.
