The Holocaust: First and Second Periods • A film by Claude Lanzmann
A unique life experience for the filmgoer, Shoah (regularly ranked among the 100 greatest films in the history of cinema ) recounts the extermination of six million Jews during World War II and gave its name to the event itself: the Shoah. Inscribed on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, this monumental work, lasting nearly nine and a half hours, is the culmination of twelve years of research. Rather than relying on archival footage, director Claude Lanzmann chose to give voice to witnesses of the extermination camps—survivors, perpetrators, neighbors—to tell the unspeakable story of the genocide of European Jews by the Nazis during World War II. An essential work of history and remembrance.

I HAD ONLY NOTHINGNESS – SHOAH BY LANZMANN • A film by Guillaume Ribot
The making of Claude Lanzmann's film Shoah was an adventure in itself. Twelve years of work, thousands of hours of preparation, travels to the four corners of the world, dozens of witnesses… and just as many doubts, setbacks, dead ends, but also moments of grace. Using 220 hours of unused rushes and Claude Lanzmann's memoirs, Guillaume Ribot recounts the production of a major cinematic work, closely following the obsessions of the man who set out to bring truth out of oblivion.
