Claude Lanzmann: The Recordings
Public tour with curator Dr Tamar Lewinsky (in German)
Join curator Tamar Lewinsky to discover our exhibition Claude Lanzmann: The Recordings!
The Lanzmann Collection comprises more than 150 previously unknown compact cassettes containing recordings made during the many years of research for the film Shoah (1985). They document conversations conducted by the director and his assistants in the 1970s with Holocaust survivors, perpetrators, and other witnesses.
