This classic French film, based on the memories of director Louis Malle, explores what could have been a friendship between a French boy and a German Jewish boy. The screening, in French with English subtitles, 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 a few memories of July 16, 1942.
