We were the Exodus
by Jean-Michel Vecchiet (France, documentary, 2007, 80 min, Mat Films)
This documentary retraces the story of the 4,551 Shoah survivors who boarded clandestinely on 9 July 1947 from the port of S te to Palestine, arrived off Ha fa by the British navy, and rowed on three cage boats in the harbour of Port-de-Bouc, in the south of France o, passengers stay for three weeks, refusing to board despite the scorching heat, against a backdrop of intense international negotiations. The film also recounts the cover of the greatest wave of migration during the post-war era, the standoff between France and Great Britain, and the way solidarity is organized around the refugees. This campaign will put an end to the British mandate in Palestine and culminate in the creation of the state of Israel. In the direction of Jean-Michel Vecchiet.
8 p.m.

A dangerous name, Isra l, Zionism and the destruction of European Jews (1933-2007)
by Georges Bensoussan (d. du Seuil, January 2008)
For the common opinion, comfort and proximity, chronological of both events, the birth of the state of Israel in 1948 is an almost direct consequence of the Shoah. An essential link today connects, in fact, the Jewish catastrophe of the 20th century if it is the state of Israel, but this link is of a political nature and it is post rieur: 1948. The memory of the Shoah long aroused an attitude of shame and rejection. Now, especially since the Six-Day (1967) and Yom Kippur (1973) Wars, and the return of the new man wanted by the Zionism of the founding fathers, the Shoah occupies a central place in the construction of Israeli identity. In the name of the author Georges Bensoussan, historian, editor-in-chief of the Revue d'histoire de la Shoah.
