“Edith Bruck. The Woman and the Shoah” is an intimate and touching documentary of inestimable historical value, directly narrated by writer and poetess Edith Bruck, who is one of the last survivors of the Holocaust. Her books have been successfully published in Italy, France, Hungary, Croatia, UK, Germany, Israel, Poland and Holland. Through her firsthand experience of the violence of Nazism and the lagers, as well as her ongoing struggle against persecution, antisemitism, and racism, Edith’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the atrocities committed during World War II. Her voice, as both a writer and a survivor, offers a unique and invaluable perspective on this dark chapter of history.
