could be pushed out of the wagon. 1915 02:04:07,041 --> 02:04:11,333 The SS machine guns on the roofs would have executed us instantly. 1916 02:04:11,500 --> 02:04:15,791 Many died of hunger and cold in those wagons. 1917 02:04:16,125 --> 02:04:19,500 At each station, they removed the corpses, 1918 02:04:20,125 --> 02:04:22,083 leaving them on the platforms. 1919 02:04:23,833 --> 02:04:26,583 Nearing Prague, we passed close by the houses. 1920 02:04:26,750 --> 02:04:30,916 People threw bread from windows or gave us water in the stations 1921 02:04:31,458 --> 02:04:33,208 when the SS looked

02:04:50,708 --> 02:04:52,791 one of those women gave birth. 1929 02:04:53,083 --> 02:04:55,083 The baby was killed immediately. 1930 02:04:55,750 --> 02:04:57,083 The mother survived. 1931 02:04:57,291 --> 02:05:01,041 The next day, we left for Bergen-Belsen in a closed wagon. 1932 02:05:02,416 --> 02:05:04,958 In Bergen-Belsen, from late January, 1933 02:05:05,333 --> 02:05:07,125 the

02:05:14,750 --> 02:05:16,833 There was no roll-call there. 1937 02:05:18,083 --> 02:05:19,416 Few people worked. 1938 02:05:19,666 --> 02:05:21,875 People were dying in their masses, 1939 02:05:22,041 --> 02:05:24,125 either of hunger or typhus. 1940 02:05:24,958 --> 02:05:28,958 I heard that, towards the end, women took shoes from corpses 1941 02:05:29,125 --> 02:05:30,250 to eat them. 1942 02:05:30,750 --> 02:05:32,166 We didn't work. 1943 02:05:32,458 --> 02:05:33,791 We tried to work. 1944 02:05:34,291 --> 02:05:36,416 It was the only way to get food. 1945 02:05:36,958 -->

her death. 1965 02:08:49,333 --> 02:08:50,875 I see Mum every day. 1966 02:08:51,833 --> 02:08:53,666 She left early in the morning. 1967 02:08:53,958 --> 02:08:55,458 They took her body. 1968 02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:57,708 I never said goodbye. 1969 02:09:37,375 --> 02:09:38,750 She has never vanished. 1970 02:09:39,541 --> 02:09:41,375 She still stands by my side. 1971 02:09:42,083 --> 02:09:43,375 She is my strength 1972 02:09:43,666 --> 02:09:44,875 and my model. 1973 02:09:45,750 --> 02:09:47,208 More generous than me, 1974 02:09:47,958 --> 02:09:49,166 more indulgent... 1975 02:09:50,375 --> 02:09:51,541 gentler, 1976 02:09:51,916 --> 02:09:53,166 and calmer too. 1977 02:09:54,458 --> 02:09:56,208 Everything I have ever done 1978 02:09:56,875 --> 02:09:58,083 was thanks to her. 1979 02:09:59,291 --> 02:10:00,583 Every struggle 1980 02:10:01,416 --> 02:10:02,416 was her. 1981 02:10:03,458 --> 02:10:04,541 For her. 1982 02:10:06,291 --> 02:10:07,500 By her hand. 1983 02:10:10,666 --> 02:10:12,666 Mum. 1984 02:10:29,416 --> 02:10:31,125 Mummy! 1985 02:10:31,875 --> 02:10:32,916 Jump! 1986 02:10:33,083 --> 02:10:35,041 Mummy, look at me! 1987 02:10:35,333 --> 02:10:37,166 Yes, honey, I see you. 1988 02:10:37,666 --> 02:10:38,958 Out of the way! 1989 02:10:40,250 --> 02:10:41,250 Jean! 1990 02:10:41,583 --> 02:10:43,250 Jean, mind your sister. 1991 02:10:44,750 --> 02:10:45,625 Stop it! 1992 02:10:46,000 --> 02:10:48,666 Mummy, where's Daddy? 1993 02:10:48,875 --> 02:10:50,166 On the beach. 1994 02:10:51,708 --> 02:10:53,625 Come on in! 1995 02:10:54,750 --> 02:10:56,166 Come for a swim! 1996 02:10:58,000 --> 02:10:59,750 Mummy, look at me! 1997 02:11:06,083 --> 02:11:08,166 My sweet mummy. 1998 02:11:18,041 --> 02:11:19,708 How can I define memory? 1999 02:11:20,958 --> 02:11:22,875 It stands apart from history 2000 02:11:23,041 --> 02:11:26,416 through its direct, personal aspect 2001 02:11:26,708 --> 02:11:29,166 or through a family intermediation 2002 02:11:29,625 --> 02:11:33,125 with a past event, heavy with consequences. 2003 02:11:34,083 --> 02:11:36,208 For two or three generations, 2004 02:11:36,500 --> 02:11:38,958 memory and history are closely bound. 2005 02:11:39,625 --> 02:11:42,250 This memory is not just contemplative 2006 02:11:42,541 --> 02:11:44,250 or made up of information. 2007 02:11:44,833 --> 02:11:47,125 It cannot be totally objective 2008 02:11:47,958 --> 02:11:50,375 as it constitutes a form of consciousness, 2009 02:11:50,541 --> 02:11:52,375 a form of identity. 2010 02:11:54,833 --> 02:11:56,416 Like it or not, 2011 02:11:56,666 --> 02:11:59,208 aware or not, we're responsible 2012 02:11:59,375 --> 02:12:02,125 for what will unite us all tomorrow. 2013 02:12:02,958 --> 02:12:05,250 We are made of what preceded us 2014 02:12:05,583 --> 02:12:07,833 and what commits us to the future. 2015 02:12:09,458 --> 02:12:12,500 Memory primarily haunts the witnesses, 2016 02:12:12,666 --> 02:12:14,125 or, rather, the victims, 2017 02:12:14,666 --> 02:12:16,791 those of us who survived, 2018 02:12:17,791 --> 02:12:21,041 who experienced the suffering some say is over, 2019 02:12:21,375 --> 02:12:23,125 but that never truly ends. 2020 02:12:23,666 --> 02:12:24,958 And will not end 2021 02:12:25,458 --> 02:12:27,083 until we are no more. 2022 02:12:30,458 --> 02:12:34,000 Throughout my life, attention to others' suffering 2023 02:12:34,833 --> 02:12:36,583 has dictated my behaviour 2024 02:12:37,375 --> 02:12:38,625 on a political level 2025 02:12:39,458 --> 02:12:41,000 and a personal one. 2026 02:12:42,500 --> 02:12:45,833 Now, when I hear reassessments of the past 2027 02:12:46,458 --> 02:12:48,500 that, whatever their legitimacy, 2028 02:12:49,250 --> 02:12:52,916 trivialize the Shoah as something to put into perspective 2029 02:12:53,208 --> 02:12:55,458 and consign to the dungeons of History, 2030 02:12:56,250 --> 02:13:00,208 I truly wonder if our society is not losing its way 2031 02:13:01,458 --> 02:13:03,375 and confusing all struggles, 2032 02:13:05,833 --> 02:13:08,083 confusing rights and duties, 2033 02:13:09,375 --> 02:13:12,125 confusing falsehood and truth, 2034 02:13:14,458 --> 02:13:18,000 leading today's youth along the paths of hatred, 2035 02:13:19,083 --> 02:13:20,375 racism, 2036 02:13:21,583 --> 02:13:23,125 antisemitism 2037 02:13:24,333 --> 02:13:25,791 and xenophobia. 2038 02:13:27,500 --> 02:13:30,000 UNITED IN DIVERSITY 2039 02:13:30,166 --> 02:13:34,500 There are many false prophets today in France, Europe and the world 2040 02:13:35,291 --> 02:13:38,833 to lead the weakest among us along those paths. 2041 02:13:40,458 --> 02:13:43,083 Our task is to thwart them. 2042 02:14:19,291 -->
