This is the story of a building that is layered with the memories of human lives. It is a typical building of the Parisian Yiddishland and there is nothing in its facade, seventy years after the facts, to indicate that it was once a trap, or a haven, for its inhabitants.

“I wish to tell the story of this anonymous building, and moreover, to recreate a present-day, tangible, ‘felt’ account of these destroyed lives” - Ruth Zylberman.

Filmography: La force des femmes (2013), The Dissidents (2010).
