Saul Friedländer

When memory comes is a film about the Jewish histoirian Saul Friedländer (1932, Prague) and his endeavour to describe the extermination of the European Jews without losing nor repressing the primary feeling of disbelief. It led to a new and unique historiography that gave a voice and face to victims, bystanders and perpetrators alike.

This provocative consideration of the lasting influence and draw of Hitler provides insight into the resurgence of white supremacy, antisemitism, and the weaponization of history.

Apostrophes was a live, weekly, literary, prime-time, talk show on French television created and hosted by Bernard Pivot. It ran for fifteen years (724 episodes) from January 10, 1975, to June 22, 1990, and was one of the most watched shows on French television (around 6 million regular viewers). It was broadcast on Friday nights on the channel France 2 (which was called "Antenne 2" from 1975 to 1992). The hourlong show was devoted to books, authors and literature. The format varied between one-on-one interviews with a single author and open discussions between four or five authors.
