Holocaust Memorial Day: 'Sculpture helped me to live'

ENCORE! © FRANCE 24

In this edition we meet the 93-year-old artist who is one of the last survivors of the Nazi death camps. Saved by a Soviet doctor in 1945, Shelomo Selinger lost his memory for several years, but through love, art and sculpture he managed to get it back. As part of this special programme for Holocaust Memorial Day that honours the 6 million Jews murdered and the countless others killed under Nazi persecution, our team met up with him in Paris.

Also on the programme, we discover Anne Frank's diaries reimagined by "Waltz With Bashir" director Ari Folman, as well as a new film about Paris under Occupation, "Une jeune fille qui va bien" and British photographer Michael Kenna's remarkable collection of photos of German concentration camps.
