ESTHER SENOT

The story of hell

Synopsis

In 1943, in the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, Esther made a promise to her dying sister, Fanny: to survive to tell her story. The story of a young Jewish girl who lived an everyday life in Paris, a child deported when she was barely fifteen.

In the twilight of her life, Esther continues to honor her promise. She runs from train to train and from TV set to TV set, driven only by a desire to share the story of hell over and over again.

As years go by, the pressure mounts, for soon, she will be the last one able to recount the story of the genocide of six million Jews.
