SHOAH: The Unseen Interviews (by Claude Lanzmann)
Los Angeles Premiere
Directed by Claude Lanzmann
Documentary/France & Israel/60 minutes/1985

More than 25 years later, Claude Lanzmann's monumental film SHOAH (1985) is still considered one of the most important documentaries ever made. More than nine hours long it features more than 70 individual interviews, yet a wealth of fascinating material was not included in its final cut. This program presents a rare opportunity to see for the first time, the powerful, unused footage from three interviews filmed for Lanzmanns landmark documentaryAbraham Bomba, who was a barber in Treblinka; Peter Bergson, who struggled to publicize Nazi crimes against the Jews; and the deeply affecting Ruth Elias. Raye Farr and Michael Berenbaum were instrumental in acquiring Lanzmanns interviews for the US Holocaust Museum.
