One day the Witnesses will be no more

The Belgian Amicale of Auschwitz-Birkenau is organising a three-day trip to both camps for 120 young university students accompanied by 10 survivors. The Belgian Amicale d'Auschwitz-Birkenau organised a three-day study trip to the two camps for 120 young university students accompanied by ten survivors. On site, discussions took place on ethics, racism and dictatorship. The young people also asked themselves how they would have behaved under the Nazi regime if they had been Germans. The film is a documentary and not a reportage. The ten witnesses are omnipresent and the camps are meticulously portrayed by the camera. Over the years, this documentary has become a valuable historical, educational and teaching tool.
