v


with the friendly support of André Chomand.
Produced by AMIJC. 1999. Duration 80 minutes.

Of the 11,400 Jewish children deported from France, 6,000 were deported during the summer of 1942 alone. In Paris, in the Marais, more than 500 children were arrested and murdered at Auschwitz, including 260 students from the École des Hospitalières Saint-Gervais.

As testified by Milo Adoner, a survivor of Auschwitz, the only survivor of the raid on the building on Rue des Deux-Ponts, which left us on March 4, 2020, and whose first year of mourning we commemorate in this film: «At the start of the school year of the "Hos" School on the 1er October 1942, there were only 4 students present and our director Joseph Migneret, appointed by Yad Vashem, Righteous among the Nations, was so affected by it that he died shortly after the end of the war

Every year, on the last Sunday in April, the survivors of this school gathered around Milo Adoner recalled one by one the names of their disappeared comrades. Among these survivors, some had admirable trajectories, as shown in this film that I made with the friendly support of André Chomand (Zal): «la communale au cœur», where these survivors, most of whom are no longer, return to the courtyard of the School, and evoke the memory of their comrades, while paying tribute to their director. A beautiful exemplary story of fidelity, love and recognition.
