The harrowing true story of how
French police rounded up Jews living in Paris on the morning
of July 16, 1942 and sent 13,000 men, women, and children
to an indoor cycling station, Vel d’Hiv, with few
toilets and one water tap. Ultimately, they were sent
to their deaths in Auschwitz. Demonstrating exactly how
French authorities pandered to the Nazis, this ambitious
period drama uses child actors to make their tale both
bittersweet and bearable.
Guests: Barbara Grau, Executive Dir. (retired), Holocaust
Center, Spring Valley, N.Y., and Rosette Goldstein, a
survivor.
