Shoah, by Claude Lanzmann, restored 35 mm negative; Audio Archive Witnesses to the History of Shoah, 200 hours
A film about the mass murder of six million Jews during World War II, Shoah was created by Claude Lanzmann over a period of twelve years. Filmed in the 1970s, it was the first ever collection of witness accounts after 30 years of almost total absence of testimony from the survivors. Shoah captures the testimonies of witnesses, perpetrators and victims, often filmed near the sites of the former death camps. The film is a major educational work that provides rigorous historical information and anchors it in the memory of a global audience.
