Sobibór, 14 Octobre 1943, 16 Heures
At a time when the Holocaust is once again being relativised, denied or downplayed, films that show what happened in the concentration camps are more important than ever. Between April 1942 and October 1943, more than 250,000 people were murdered at the Sobibor extermination camp.
The film’s title refers precisely to the place, date and time of the only successful armed uprising in a Nazi extermination camp. In response to Claude Lanzmann’s questions, Yehuda Lerner, one of the survivors, recounts his story in clear, simple words. At the age of 16, he refuses to walk silently into the gas chamber. Instead, he kills two German soldiers and survives.
Lanzmann met Lerner while filming his landmark work SHOAH. In this film, he explicitly challenges the myth that Jewish prisoners did not resist their own murder. “Lerner’s act embodies the right and the duty to kill,” says Lanzmann, describing it as a manifestation of humanity. A timeless classic!
