Hélène Berr, A Stolen Life - Opening Reception, Hosted by Consul Generals of France and Germany
From April 1942 to February 1944, Hélène Berr kept a diary on a daily basis which combines the everyday experience of the unbearable and the dream world of literature, before her deportation in March 1944. This document, of an exceptional quality, gives a unique image of a young French girl brutally cast away from society during the German occupation in Paris.
Speakers include the Consul Generals of France and Germany, Directors of the Alliance Française and the Goethe-Zentrum as well as the Executive Directors of the Memorial de la Shoah, Paris and the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust.
