LatestWhen on April 6, 1983, just a few months after the arrest and extradition of Klaus Barbie on French soil, Sabine Zlatin found herself alone in Izieu to commemorate the roundup of April 6, 1944, only one question arose: after her, who will maintain the flame of the memory of the 44 Jewish children arrested and deported that day? Sabine's concern is all the more acute when she learns that the Izieu roundup cannot be included in the trial of the former Nazi, for lack of evidence. Sabine fights so that the children of Izieu are not permanently forgotten by history.
Acting
Véronique Genest carries grief like a second language.
Writing
Refuses easy catharsis — memory as active resistance.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The real Maison d'Izieu memorial opened in 1994; Sabine Zlatin died in 1996, finally seeing the flame secured.
Klaus Barbie was ultimately convicted for crimes against humanity, but not specifically the Izieu roundup — the film's central tension between legal and moral justice remains unresolved.
