Exhibition "Rappelle-toi Barbara. Des femmes racontent la Seconde Guerre Mondiale", from September 13 to 30, 2021
Remember Barbara
Women recount the Second World War
They were children, young girls or adults, students or working, frivolous or wise, today women recount memories linked to their daily lives during the Second World War. Exile, resistance, escape from the ghetto, imprisonment, deportation, the loss of loved ones, but also insouciance and lightness despite horror, vulnerability and suffering, their war was above all about survival.
By not giving in to fear or submission, their lives went from the ordinary to the extraordinary. Their faith in the future motivates their actions. This documentary proposal is articulated between singular stories and collective history to transmit to us the war in the feminine, between illusions and realities in France, Hungary, Poland, the United States, Russia and Japan.
