On the occasion of the publication of Wladyslaw Szlengel (1912-1943), le chansonnier du ghetto de Varsovie, poems translated from Polish by Jean-Yves Potel and Monika Prochniewicz (Circé, 2017).

Poets wrote in the Warsaw ghetto. Until the last moment. The texts of Wladyslaw Szlengel (1914-1943), "passed from hand to hand and from mouths to ears". In late 1942-early 1943, in an effervescence, Szlengel gathered the poems and gave them to the clandestine archives of Emmanuel Ringelblum. He leaves us, he explains, "document poems" that he read to "people who still believed in their survival."

1945, released from Dachau where he was imprisoned for his articles opposing the Third Reich, a man goes in search of his son, whom he no longer knows anything about since he enrolled him in the Hitler Youth before being imprisoned. He returns to his hometown. The inhabitants are enigmatic, evasive. An American soldier who came to investigate a Nazi program called "Aktion T4" keeps secret information. That is when the man hears rumors about Hadamar’s hospital. He goes there, determined to find his son, whatever the price of his quest.
