Et le SS tomba amoureux de la juive

Helena Citron fait partie du premier convoi de femmes à franchir les portes d'Auschwitz en 1942 et en est l'une des rares survivantes. La réalisatrice Maya Sarfaty lui consacre un documentaire ainsi qu'à sa relation avec le SS Franz Wunsch.

Love, It Was Not is a tragic love story between a prisoner and a Nazi. Beautiful and full of life, Helena Citron, is taken to Auschwitz as a young woman, and soon finds unlikely solace under the protection of Franz Wunsch, a high-ranking SS officer who falls in love with her and her magnetic singing voice. Risking execution if caught, they went on with their forbidden relationship until the war ended and the camp was liberated. Thirty years later, a letter arrives from Wunsch's wife asking Helena to “return the favor”– testify on Wunsch's behalf. Faced with an impossible decision, Helena must choose. Will she help the man who brutalized so many lives, but saved hers? Director and Writer: Maya Sarfaty
