(Jewish Group) Jewish WWII Ghettos Explored In Arte France Doc Feature
Jewish WWII Ghettos Explored In Arte France Doc Feature © Provided by Deadline
Ghettoes of the Shoah (La Shoah des Ghettos) will run in the cultural network’s prime-time history slot. Pernel Media is attached to make the 90-minute doc with the support of the Foundation for the Memory of the Shoah. Barbara Necek is directing.
More than 1,000 ghettos were established in Central and Eastern Europe by the Nazis at the beginning of the Second World War between 1939 and 1941. Poland alone had more than 300 of them. At least half of Europe’s Jews lived in ghettos during the war and over 800,000 died while living in them.
The doc will put a new historical perspective on the events through access to never-released personal archives, films, letters and photographs.
Pernel is also producing a 60-minute version of the film for the international market.
