A CHILD IN AUSCHWITZ

A project of WebTransMémoires, Daniel Cling and Anne-Marie C.Leduc.
With the support of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region (program assistance), the Procirep and the Angoa in development.


“Everyone knows how much human memory is subject to question, how it evolves, chooses, builds, colors, integrates subsequent knowledge, etc. I am as aware as anyone of these shortcomings and weaknesses. But what follows is not the sole product of an effort of memory and is based above all on a detailed account written shortly after my return from deportation, at the age of sixteen.”

So begins Maurice Cling’s book, A Child in Auschwitz, from which this project is built. By connecting all the visual and audio elements in the same space, from the notebooks written on my return from Auschwitz, to the story published in 2005, as well as to numerous other documentary sources (filmed testimony, etc.), and to the places visited today, this WebTransMémoires offers a unique experience of immersion and understanding in the mysteries of a memory that has never ceased to evolve and to be enriched in the course of a lifetime, a memory that itself carries other memories.
