Personne à prévenir en cas d'accident : personnePerson to Contact in Case of Accident: None
Historian Serge Klarsfeld provides the historical context for the deportation of Jews in France. Peter Blank, a German Jew born in 1920, looks back at his detention in French camps, his deportation from Drancy to the work camps. This film attempts an analysis of Blank's testimony, in other words to open up his account to its multiple meanings and repercussions. When Klarsfeld underlines the absence of filmed traces or interviews with victims before and during the Shoah, the last words left on the walls at Fort Barraux by Jewish deportees become a testament. When a tattoo replaces a name and an identity, Kafka's phrase acquires its full force: "Someone must have been telling lies about Joseph K. because without having done anything wrong, he was arrested one morning."
