#Broadcast: The survivors. The impossible departure after the Shoah – Antoine Dauer and Michèle Dominici

After the liberation of the Nazi camps, hundreds of thousands of survivors were left without a home, without a country, and without any immediate future. The Survivors – The Impossible Departure after the Shoah explores this little-known post-war period, between 1945 and 1948, during which around 250,000 survivors were gathered in displaced persons camps across Europe. Drawing on previously unseen archival material and personal testimonies, the film retraces their ordeals, as well as the remarkable capacity for resilience and reconstruction shown by these men and women who, amid the ruins, sought to imagine an “after.”
