Le Chambon: La colline avex mille enfants
Le Chambon: La colline avex mille enfants[The hill of the thousand children](1994) This Emmy-winning drama tells, in what I find to be an inappropriate 1950s-style, the true story of how a Protestant French village with 3,000 inhabitants harbored and saved perhaps 5,000 Jewish children during World War II. The basic courage and uncommon humanity of this saga is reflected in this film. This compelling story, as set forth in Susan Zuccotti’s The Holocaust, the French, and the Jews, can stand alone, without TV-type froth.
