Screening of Shoah on January 27

Together with the Swedish Holocaust Museum and Folkets Bio, The Robert Weil Family Foundation co-hosts a screening of Claude Lanzmann’s landmark documentary Shoah.

The French journalist and filmmaker Claude Lanzmann (1925–2018) spent 12 years making Shoah, which was first released in 1985.

Instead of relying on archival footage, Lanzmann took it upon himself to reach out survivors and perpetrators of the Holocaust, to get their testimonies on the Nazis’ methodical mass murder of Jews in Europe during the Second World War. Out of 185 hours of interviews and 35 hours of location filming, 9,5 hours was eventually edited into a comprehensive documentary.
