Ma rencontre avec Bernard

The Last Ones is a series of short documentaries. Each episode features an interview with one of the last survivors of the camps, who recounts their experiences during the war, their life afterward, the transmission of memory, and their perspective on the world today. Directed by Sophie Nahum and produced by HelloProd, this series gives a voice to the last survivors of the Holocaust. Born in 1932 in Paris to a family of Lithuanian origin, Bernard was nine years old when his father was arrested in August 1941. The rest of the family narrowly escaped the Vel' d'Hiv roundup, and Bernard's mother sent him and his brother to hide in the unoccupied zone, while she remained in Paris with her youngest daughter, still a baby. When the two boys returned at the end of the war, they were alone in the world: their parents and sister had died at Auschwitz. Their aunt took them in. Five years later, they managed to reclaim the family apartment, where nothing had been touched, and moved in, surrounded by memories. Despite the difficulties, Bernard and his brother pursued brilliant studies in medicine and law, as their father had wished.
