Exceptional screening of the film La Communale au cœur by Claude Bochurberg

On the occasion of the anniversary of the death of Milo Adoner who died on March 4, 2020, the Shoah Memorial offers you an exceptional screening of the film by Claude Bochurberg, la Communale au coeur. 

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 of the École des Hospitalières Saint-Gervais.

As evidenced by Milo Adoner, a survivor of Auschwitz, the only survivor of the roundup of the building on rue des Deux-Ponts, who passed away on March 4, 2020, and whose first year of mourning we commemorate through this film: "At the start of the school year for the Ecole des "Hos" on 1^er October 1942, there were only 4 students present and our director Joseph Migneret, appointed by Yad Vashem as Juste parmi les Nations, was so affected that he died shortly after the end of the war.”

Every year, on the last Sunday of April, the survivors of this school gathered around Milo Adoner, recalling one by one the names of their lost 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 there, 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.
