This classic french film is based on the memories of director Louis Malle and explores what could have been a friendship between a French boy and a German Jewish boy. The screening commemorates the Vel d’Hiv Roundup of July 16-17, 1942, when the French Police, under the direction of the Nazis, arrested between 7,000 and 14,000 Parisian Jews. Following the screening, Middlebury College Professor Emeritus Simon Barenbaum will share memories of July 16, 1942.
