La Mémoire des Enfants

The film deals with the fate of Jewish children under the Vichy government. Serge and Beate Klarsfeld, Nazi hunters, historians and activists, present material collected during decades of meticulous research. In their emotional testimony, six survivors, who in those days were children or adolescents, describe for the first time their arrest and deportation. Their political analysis unequivocally points to the responsibility of the Vichy government. Furthermore, Serge Klarsfeld recalls the prominent role of Austrian Nazis in the implementation of the ”final solution“ in France.
