for “Farewell Birkenau, an Auschwitz survivor tells” in collaboration with Ginette Kolinka & JD Morvan. Reservations recommended: 06 48 10 89 84. "In April 1944, at the age of 19, Ginette Kolinka was deported to the Auschwitz II-Birkenau extermination camp. She did not speak about it for 50 years, before agreeing to be filmed for the Shoah Foundation, which Steven Spielberg has just created. To the great surprise of the septuagenarian, buried memories resurface. She throws herself wholeheartedly into testifying. In October 2020, at the age of 95, she allowed Victor Matet and Jean- David Morvan to accompany her on one of her group trips to Poland, at the end of which she decided never to return. In this moving album put into images with modesty and power by Efa, Cesc and Roger, she takes stock of her first and last visit to the largest cemetery in the world with the unique blend of strength, humor and hope that characterizes her."
