For all the Jewish survivors of the death camps, the arrival in France in 1945 was a particular ordeal whose magnitude we tend to underestimate today. How does one return to a life that was interrupted with such violence? How does one reconstruct oneself when all or most of one’s family were butchered? How does one resume studies and earn a living in a society that had cast you out a few years earlier?” How can you believe in love and friendship once again, have children when you have just returned from hell? For the first time, survivors talk about life after the camps. They do so in the first person, using personal archives and family albums that retrace 65 years of a life after the Shoah.
