- Summary
- The Lanzmann Moment. What does this moment correspond to? To a double eruption, in the lives of millions of people around the world, of what Lanzmann designates as the original event: Shoah, the film. First, it is the eruption of a word with enigmatic brevity, imposed without prior definition, like a door opening to multiple paths which oblige us to discover with the author the immensity of the disaster. From there comes the emergence of a literary as well as cinematographic masterpiece, now included in the UNESCO Memory of the World register. Its greatness is measured by the feat of having overcome the impossibility of representing the mass murder in the Nazi extermination camps without recourse to archive images. If the first broadcast in France of Shoah on television, in 1987, brought together millions of people in front of the screen, and more and more since then, for a vast part of humanity the destruction of the Jews of Europe nevertheless remains a a foreign fact, both incomprehensible and always more or less hidden. In this sense, the Shoah constitutes a rupture, horribly reiterated in the genocidal attack of October 7, 2023. The authors gathered here lucidly account for the extreme vulnerability of our civilization.
