A Visitor from the Living is a documentary based on a 1979 interview between Claude Lanzmann and Maurice Rossel, a delegate of the International Committee of the Red Cross, who visited Eichmann's model ghetto, Theresienstadt, in June 1944. In his visit report, Rossel described the conditions in the camp as “satisfactory.” This is the portrait of a rare witness to the Shoah—neither victim nor executioner, but a man living among the dead.
“A film about ordinary antisemitism, a film about the difficulty of witnessing history when you have been a victim of your own blindness” - Paul Fontaines, Les Inrocks.
