J'étais une enfant de survivants de l'Holocauste

Ce court métrage d'animation, que signe la réalisatrice Ann Marie Fleming, est une adaptation animée des mémoires illustrées de Bernice Eisenstein, lesquelles ont été chaudement applaudies à leur publication. Le film en appelle aux vertus curatives de l’humour pour sonder les tabous relatifs à un traumatisme au deuxième degré très particulier et nous conduit à une compréhension plus universelle de l’expérience humaine.

Pre-teach: The Holocaust, its inception, and long-term effects on the Jewish people. Post-viewing: Suggest reasons why the narrator compares her search for understanding to an addiction and her parents to drug dealers. In what ways is this an accurate description of her search? By the end of the film, what revelations about her ancestry does she come to understand? Are these helpful to her as a Jewish woman? If so, how?
