How young women and men with their families find themselves, from one day to the next, excluded, hunted down, arrested throughout occupied Europe simply because they are Jewish, only to be deported far from home to one and the same place.
The deportees arrive at the camp. In the middle of the railway tracks, families are separated. Those who enter the camp are shaved and then tattooed. The discovery of chimneys from which flames escape questions the new detainees. What is it about? Where have the elderly and children who were in the wagons gone?
It is the discovery of the concentration camp universe: brutal forced labor, daily violence, hunger, thirst, disease and omnipresent death. Everyone must find a way to survive.
How the deportees in the concentration camp become the rare witnesses of mass extermination.
How do you get out of Auschwitz, how do you rebuild yourself? How do you talk about this ultimate experience, and also how do you pass it on?
